Unhappy Jazz has <sniff> become an old game <sniff>

Did you know (i'll wait till after you stop crying ) that JJ2 and JJ2 TSF has begom, what some games would like to call it, abandonware.

What is Abandonware:
Abandonware is another type of 'ware' (we have: software (duh!), hardware, shareware, freeware, post-cardware, trialware, demoware, loveware (you get the picture )). Anyway abandonware is a type of ware that means: "The company that made and/or published the game has abandoned it (hence the name). This also includes the company going bankupt, moving on, no support, ect.".

As you see this goes for jazz...
- EPIC dosn't support it
- Logicware is dead
- God Games dosn't support it
- P2I died, nad has been refound under P3I
- Orange dons't support it

So as you can see, Jazz is now abandonware.

NOW, this (well it's suposed to, anyway) makes the game, in a manner of speaking, free!

Now this may be shocking news to some ("Oh, darn, I paid for it!"), but please don't take my word for it. I could be wrong!

If anyone else knows about the legal side of abandonware please tell me!

Have fun,
Matrix
