What I understood, epic lost money on jj2.
What the prize on jazz jackrabbit is, it's fantastic that he came out on another game, evrybody knows that the jj3 project was dislined.
As Flint said, if this game does it, for players in less age 8-10, Jazz may come more populair, and there may come more jazz games.
If jazz goes really populair, maybe even jj3 can be relived, due orange will wake up.

May I also point on it's posible for the 'new noobs' download shareware and a full version of jj1 at carrotus keep.
