Welcome! I would say we're not hostile but we don't always take it into consideration that people may not know specific things already, because most of us have been here for so long. Hopefully you don't run into that in a bad way.
There's not a big recommendation thread because J2O's downloads section basically is that already, since everyone is allowed (and encouraged) to review other people's work. You can sort by rating (and narrow that down by selecting certain level types instead of just "All"), though some of the stuff at the very top may just be there because one person rated it a 10 and nobody else bothered. The best sign is a high rating and a significant number of reviews. |

Hi. Always nice to see a new face. If you're interested in single player levels, one thing worth knowing is that if you just download some of the top-rated levels, you will experience a major jump in difficulty in comparison to the official JJ2 levels. They're not all extremely hard, it's just that the official JJ2 campaign doesn't prepare you for facing them any more than playing in a sandbox prepares you for running a marathon. It's easy to get discouraged if you can't find anything playable.
Some of the easier high-quality single player uploads include Tomb Rabbit 2, Literally Frozen Spring, Night World, and the recent Ürdüng Chronicles #1.

Hello, and welcome to
Although it's pretty hard, I still stand by my eternal favourite, FSP: Rent Collection, and its not quite as good but still really fun precursor, Time Tripping JJ2. Also, avoid The Lost World Episode. It's one of the highest-rated J2O levels of all time, but it really doesn't hold up nowadays. |
Jan 19, 2017, 06:20 PM | |
Hello fellow Canadian :D
Along with Tomb Rabbit 2, possibly my favorite single player map pack still has to be The Episode by Blade. Can't say how many times I've replayed that pack since my childhood, and it should be relatively easy. I would also then afterwards recommend Rocket Powered Rabbits for a completely different scripted experience, although it is pretty difficult its a lot of fun and shows the potential of what can be done with angelscript.

Way back before JJ2+ was around I used to play online and tried a bunch of difficult tests, and played some competitive, so hopefully the difficulty spike shouldn't be too hard for me. I somehow managed to not know about jazz2online all this time! Quote:
I'll probably try a bunch of the custom single player stuff, inevitably try and beat that pack-in map King of Boredom or whatever the name was, and then start looking into the updated editor |

Hi! Always thrilled to meet someone new here. Also if you're into online play, the multiplayer scripted levels are a lot of fun as well! Here's my personal favorite, among the scripted ones at least.
Looking forward to the stuff you make with Angelscript, and ofc have fun! |
Jan 20, 2017, 10:21 AM | |
Is there any sort of live chat for JJ2? I know a lot of people use discord now, is there a JJ2 discord group? Or would the best way just be to join a server and talk to people?
Also, is there any way to play on Ubuntu without setting up a VM? I'd love to play on the go, but my only windows machine is my desktop. Also, is there another thread I should use for general questions? I don't want to take over the intro thread here with offtopic posts if there is a better board for them! |

You won't find all of the JCFers/online players there though, but some JJ players can only be found there.

This forum isn't the most active place on the web. I think posting questions here is fine for now, but maybe open up a thread in the General JJ2 section if you're really concerned.

And i would love to say thank you to everyone that helps keep jj2 alive. And Thank You To the everyday ppl i meet on jazz jackrabbit 2 ![]() It wouldent be the same without you all. ![]() So with me parting with these words and introduction, i would like to welcome every new player to the jj2 family may your stay with us be the best it can be, have fun laugh and love. |

Hi,
I'm player and programmer from the Czech Republic. I know this website for long time, but I never post/contribute here. But now, it's time to show you my (almost complete) remake of JJ2, which I'm working on in silence for about 7 months. ![]() |

Greetings, DeathKiller.
If I may ask, how does one kill death? I've always found death to be rather annoying; he keeps coming over to my house and eating all my pizza leftovers, so advice on this would be greatly appreciated. |

I really don't know. This nickname is old, but I'm still using it. It doesn't have any meaning.

Yoyoooo
I'm DJ Vee! I just got into play Jazz 2 a few days ago, went ahead and made an account in case I get proper hooked, hahaha. I may have to get in on some proper full matches soon! If the 1v1s are anything to go by, it'll be crazy!~ Outside of here, I'm an alias-based music producer online, and love it to bits. Offline, I work in the video game industry. Technically. I work at an independent video game store. Hey, if it's enough to theoretically get into E3 with, that's the video game industry in my book! Last edited by DJVee; Jul 16, 2017 at 10:53 PM. Reason: Little more info lol |

Glad to be here!
![]() An alias-based producer is one person who produces many styles of music, which are then released under different names. Usually, these names will have characters with their own defining traits attached. The modern form of the concept was pioneered by Ren Queenston, who releases music under the virtual label Lapfox Trax. Queenston was inspired originally by the various in-house musicians of Konami's BEMANI brand of rhythm games, which include Dance Dance Revolution, beatmania, and Pop'n Music, among others. Some lesser inspiration for them was also derived from hardcore producing legend Scott Brown, who would dabble with releasing under different names from time to time. |

Hello people!
My forum name is BunOfThunder: I've been a long-time Jazz Jackrabbit player and I discovered the games way back in the 90s! Quite infact, I've been heavily lurking these very forums many years ago, but never got around to open up an account, mostly because I wasn't internet-savvy back then. I recently acquired the whole JJ series again via GOG and I was happily surprised to see that the JJ2+ patch, which you guys have worked on, is included in the purchase and adds so much to the original game! Along with the plethora of custom levels provided by the community, it's truly a breath of fresh air that keeps this game strong through the years, with its replayability factor getting renewed on and on. Seeing the patch in action has reminded me of the J2O community, so I went back and finally registered. It's great to see this place still active! I'm known elsewhere on the net with other usernames, yet I feel this one I chose will be most appropriate for JJ related contents. =D Outside here and offline, I'm known as a tattoo designer, illustrator, and graphic novel artist. Overall, I like to keep myself busy, and although I'm absolutely abysmal with programming skills of any kind, I'd be very happy to be useful for eventual updates and contribute when it comes to graphical contents. That's... really all I can think of now! Glad to meet you all! |

Hey, BunOfThunder! *waving hand emoji, but JCF doesn't support emojis so, uh, use your imagination* It's always nice to see a new (or rather old?) face around here. Enjoy your stay!

Smileys (images) work fine, emoji don't:
Jazz2Online predates the mainstream adoption of Unicode, and the invention of emoji. So unfortunately it's not set up to handle them correctly. I might be able to tweak some settings so that they work, but don't hold your breath. |

Introduction
Hello,
My real name is Ferry, I have been playing Jazz Jackrabbit since around the year 1996 and have been a long-time fan of the series ever since. It saddens me deeply that for some reason quality games and beautifully crafted game boxes are not considered to be a priority. I think it's heartwarming to see that there are still so many fans of the series. ~ Pentarou ![]()

Hello Everyone!
My real name is Marcin, I'm from Poland, and I'm playing in PC games since 1997. Yeah, more than 20 years ago, time flies like crazy! I've met Jazz (Jazz 2 Secret files - polish edition containing "merged" Jazz 2 and Secret Files add-on) for the first time in... That's a good question, I think that it was 2001 or 2002, but I'm not sure for 100%. For sure it was present to me and my sibling due to Children's Day, chosen by me. It was one of the best choices in my life - despite the fact that it was a "lucky shot", as I've never heard about this game before. Asides from PC games (my favourite genres are strategies, esp. turn-based, cRPGs, FPS and of course platform games), I like fantasy/sci-fi books and board games (especially those competetive, such as Neuroshima Hex). |

Hello fellow Jack Jazzrabbit fans!
I'm just a person who found out Jazz Jackrabbit is available on GOG website. This game started my love for platformer genre but as many of you, this game remained as my favorite, ever since I launched it for the first time ![]() |

Hi, my name is Pascal and I am a programmer from The Netherlands. I remember playing Jazz Jackrabbit 1 on my brothers PC back in the 90's, but what i remember the most is actually the super rare spinoff: BatteryCheck. I got that myself after turning in 15 batteries for a CD-ROM with the game which I should still have somewhere in a box. And when I saw the GOG version of Jazz I bought it instantly but have not got around to it yet...
Thanks to the excellent description about the game files by Neobeo (and possibly others) I was able to realize my long time dream of recreating BatteryCheck! I will tell all about it in a separate thread on here...but in short I have partial working code running on Linux, Wii and 3DS. The consoles need to be "homebrew enabled" ofcourse ![]() My username should actually have a captial A, but after trying for the 20th time to register (only got errors before) I am just glad to finally being able to tell about my project I have been working on for about 5-6 months! So after removing about 75% of what I wrote this is my "short" introduction ![]() |

Not so much "who am I", but rather: "where is everyone"?

Hello and welcome back. You may find the forums rather quiet nowadays. Most of the social activity within the community has moved over to the Jazz Jackrabbit Discord server instead.

G'day! I have a strange interest in old video games, and this one happened to catch my interest.
Weirdly enough, I stumbled upon this website while looking for images of Spaz. My favorite game is TF2, It is my most played game on Steam by far. If you're wondering where the name came from, I like pie. That's it. Thanks for reading this jumbled mess of a post. Goodbye! |
