I currently have the version which consists of nine levels, PLUS - a level called "Holiday Hare" and additional bonus levels. When exiting, a screen pops up saying "THIS IS NOT A SHAREWARE! DO NOT DISTRIBUTE!" And beneath there's a line saying "Jazz Jackrabbit Commercial Version". So, what version do I have?

That would have to be the last CD version. In 1995, successfull games by Epic got an extra set of levels or features, and one of them was Jazz Jackrabbit. A CD Version was made with 3 extra episodes next to the standard 6 and an episode in which you could practice the bonus levels. Another CD version was eventually made to include Holiday Hare 94.

Another thing I don't get is the Holiday Hare episode. There's a spin-off called "Holiday Hare 95" and there's that episode built-in the game. Why?
|
Christmas versions of any Jazz Jackrabbit games are traditionally called "Holiday Hare", for Jazz 1 there are two: Holiday Hare 94, with 4 levels and Holiday Hare '95 with 5 levels in two worlds. They were both available as Shareware at first, and Holiday Hare 94 was eventually included in the CD Version.

Regarding JJ2:
I can play 4 episodes, with Jazz or Spaz. I can play MP (Party-Mode) either, but I couldn't find a level editor (=JCS) anywhere in the dictionary. What version is it?
|
First of al, are you on a PC or a Macintosh? Macintosh versions don't come with JCS. Secondly, what number does it show on the lower-right corner of the main menu? Lastly, did you download it or not?

On a side note... My Sound-card is relatively new, especially considering it's a years old DOS game. Couldn't get it to work with DOSBox though, do I need it on a CD or something?

Sounds like a DOSBox problem to me. I'd have to look into it.
