I claim page #3!

TEH, NO ICQ FOR ME,

<-- I used to say Teh instead of The on purpose "pass teh brownies, mom" :P

Only if you have the default number of replies on a single page, Nitro.

*sobs hysterically*

Sigh.

Okay, how about when people said hi to you and you had no idea who they were, so they'd go off reeling off a list of names until they got to one you recognized?

Or when you did that...

Or when RR wasn't rubber rutebegas or whatever it is now, it was Rabid Rabbits and the biggest clan at the time?

(I believe at the top of its career it had 49 members.)

*sniff*

I miss those days. they ended for me in the end of 99.

I remember those days too. Here's something to think about, though...

In the future, some horrible JJ2-less time where the community is dead (hopefully not for a few millenia ) these will be looked back on as the 'good-old days'. While the golden age of Jazz 2 is now long past, and I too long for it, Jazz 2 remains, as many of us do too. (Well, I wish I could say many). Let us continue and live for today!

I probably don't count as an "oldie", do I? Lemme explain.

I bought Jazz 2 less than a month after it came out, played it, and got hooked. Three or four months later I stumbled upon Jazz 2 City in it's prime. Immediately I began visiting weekly, if not daily. I submitted levels under the name of "Son of Jazz", which some people may remember since one pack ("Devan's Toys") made it to 20 on the top 100 level list. I watched as the updates got slower and slower... then stopped. But I still visited Jazz 2 City along with the then new Universe Jazz. I also continued to read almost every post I could on the JJMB (though I never registered for some dumb reason - I wish I had). After Universe Jazz died I turned here and FINALLY joined the message board. So even though you don't know me... I know and love all of you!

In conclusion: I wish I had become part of the memories sooner...

But of course, Jazz will never die, so ROCK ON!!!

P.S. So much for my sentimentality...

Oh my gosh! Is that you Warlord?! Felix/Warlord, right? Remember me?! It's the guy who always hosted the same levels!

Do you still use your ICQ?!

What's really funny is that I was the first one to ever refer to the early days as "the golden age". People always used to say "what the heck are you talking about?" Now you people have assimilated it as a common term.. I feel loved.

Yeah I remember you. You're somewhere on my contact list. I haven't really used icq that much lately, I'm mostly invisible.

Add me to your invisible list then! A few years since last time I chatted to you.

I wonder if JJ1 was more popular than JJ2...

I think it was Magoo

Yes, I also think JJ1 was more popular. When it was released, its graphic was wonderful and there wasn't anything like that. When Jazz2 was released, there already were some shooters...

Jazz 2 was more like the failed-to-become-well-known sequel. Like, everyone used to play Jazz1, demo or full version, but not many people know/knew about Jazz2. I think the distributors (or whoever is responsible for the marketing process) miserably failed, and thanx to them, noone wants to finance Jazz3 and all that. GRRRRRRR.

to be honest, I didin't know Jazz2 existed until I went to a toy store someday and found this whole row of Jazz 2's for very cheap. It was version 1.1.

Are you serious about not knowing about JJ2? I got the JJ2 demo when it first came out!

-The March Hare

Yes, Splash is right. When I got some of my friends to play Jazz2, they often said: "Jazz? Huh, I played this when I was a small boy!". They knew of Jazz1, but not of Jazz2. I also got it from a friend, who still buys cheap old games !

Yeah, I had the JJ2 demo not long after it came out, never played online though cause I had like, a 33.6KB modem back then and it was hard enough just to dl the darn thing.

The advertising guru's? I don't even think there were any, based on how little-known the game was even at the times of it's release.

As for JJ3, blame Gathering of Developers (G.O.D. Games). They lost money on JJ2 (see reason above - nobody heard of it ), and even though we won the poll opn 'what sequel do ya want?', they made FLY!2, which is absolute garbage. And now, there is zilcho coming from G.O.D. Games, guess they shouldn've taken up JJ3, cause now they ARE dying.

Well I didn't know about jazz2 myself until suddenly stumbling upon the epic website which I heard about jazz2 and that was total luck because I wasn't a vet at surfing the internet yet. I played jazz1 for the first time in early 1997 and gained access to the net later that year and found out about jazz at the end of the year.

What I don't understand is Epic couldn't find a publisher..
Contrary to what they said I'm sure they didn't lift a finger in finding a publisher for jazz3 or they would have gotten GT(Infogrames) to publish it since they published their unreal series which is awesome and other good games and games that totally suck salt, they even published survivor which was 1000% times worse than a pileload of crap! What were they thinking?

jazz1 was FuN... i used to play it on meh cousins OLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD computer in tha basement. jazz2 was on my somewhat *newer* computer (shareware) but i never played internet for a while. but that was fun, being annoying, kicking people out of servers for no reason, cussing at people for no reason. that was FUN!!!!!! @$#(*#@)($#@$ then came registerd. fun fun fun.

I remember having to put myself on invisible back in the ole ICQ 99b days, because so many of you people talked to me, I couldn't even get a small update done.

Still, it was a fun time. I'm gonna see if can get that feeling back once LC's gonna be back up (and, i hope, soon...been waiting long enough)

Yes, I remember. I was one of those nagging people.

Speaking of icq, the new version suck so much I got rid of it! know where I can find the old one again? (The one that would stay tucked in at the bottom of the screen and had a working history?)

AJ2f

Yes, the worsest thing with the new versions are the announcements. With every new version, even more come. But i'm sorry, I don't know where to get the older versions from...

The days are getting longer..

Guys, no offence, but you sound like this:

Knock it off and go make or play some levels.
Make this the good new days.
