More proof of my oldbie status. (Too bad there's no record of the original Epic Mega Message Board days, where I was a member of the community in the months before the JJ2 demo was released.)

Oh man... right in the nostalgia! (Also I completely forgot about all the strange Christian overtones on Jazz 2 City.)

I actually forgot about almost all the levels I had released on J2C. I looked them up again... and turns out it was probably for the best that I forgot about them. They're pretty bad! Everyone has to start somewhere, I suppose. But J2C's Wakeman always gave pretty good reviews to my stuff. I can't believe he actually played every single download people sent him - most of which was really crappy in those days - and wrote up a blurb for each and every one. No wonder he burned out!

It's kind of cool seeing how my level design evolved over the years. Starting all the way back with my first released level "Roadkill v 1.6" I can't imagine there were actually improvements made over several versions, when you look at how poorly tiled it is (using Colonius), and over-packed with weapons and other special items, and built around huuuuuugely ridiculously long sucker tube events that literally zig zag back and forth as many times as I could paste that stupid event. What the heck was I thinking? (Maybe that people might not want to actually play that level - which might have been the right line of thinking, actually.)

I just have to remember that I was 12 years old.
