I don't have Holiday Hare, but all of the places that google up don't really work out. I want to play. It makes me sad. I have gone through three boxes of tissues in an hour.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy?
Also, I don't have JJ2 on my laptop here at school and I don't have the CD anymore, and its not on ebay, will anyone let me borrow\buy\burn a copy of thiers?

Hello and welcome back to the forums. According to what Link said, you must not ask for illegal copies of Jazz Jackrabbit games on this website/forum. I don't have Holiday Hare myself, and I must live with it. For JJ2, if you lost your CD then that's your own fault. Why should the makers of the game pay for that? Well, if you get a free copy of JJ2 they WON'T get money for what they've done, and it's not their fault you've lost your JJ2 CD. Thank you for your cooperation. *speaking like an admin*

Well, we don't know which Holiday Hare. '94 and '95 are fine.

Be more specific, BlackSheep. You mean HH98, or one of JJ1 Holiday Hare editions?

Now, I just tried to be friendly and not scaring all the newbies away.
What you currenlty said just doesn't make sense at all.

Take a look at Blacky's profile. ;-P

EDIT: Specifically, at her join date.

Or just look at her join date... ;p

Or this join date, even.

Hmm... I thought someone who is here since 2002 (EDIT: or even 2001) should know that asking for warez is forbidden on J2O.

EDIT: Edited my post, so it makes more sense now. I'm such a n00b. lol *laughs about himself*

I have christmas Chronicels and it really suck.

"Downloading full versions of any games other than Holiday Hare 94 and Holiday Hare 95 is illegal and is not supported by these forums."

He could of meant 94/95. Why you people have to jump on everyone who wants to download even LEGAL stuff is just plain annoying. I think you should just leave it to the admins/mods to deal with these issues rather than take it upon yourself to needlessly give your spiel about warez everytime.

And what if he/she was asking for 98? They never said anything about illegally wanting to download it. You could recommend ways of legally obtaining it.


THE GLASS IS HALF FULL.

What did you say? (EDIT: S)He never said anything about illegally downloading it?

Well, I just wanted to help, and it's absolutely not your problem if I told her about it being illegal asking for a copy of JJ2 here. I didn't talk about Holiday Hare in that part of my post.

Guys, chill out. It's not like I can buy a copy. The epic website is gay about buying a copy, and ebay doesn't have them. It's not like I can't just drive over to one of my friends' houses over my school break and borrow the CD and copy the game to my computer. It's not like I ever bought the game in the first place, I just borrowed the CD, and to be real about it, I bet that a great majority of the people here never bought the CD. Epic doesn't need the money anyway, they've paid all thier bills and they're moving onto bigger and better things like UT. You guys need to take the straight-edge attitude down a notch.

Newbies annoy me. <3 to Trafton.

I posted a link to the FAQ item mainly for the link to Haze's Hideout, where shareware versions of Jazz Jackrabbit (including HH94 and HH95) can be downloaded. That FAQ item covered the question "Where can I download (insert Jazz game here)?" which I believe at least partially answered BlackSheep's question. I didn't mean my post to be accusatory in any way.

Take a look at the "calling others gay" topic, please.

EDIT: And I'm not a newbie, even though the "welcome to the forums" was stupid.

I've asked Mark Rein (Epic vice President) last year. And he told me he thought it was shareware (or at least, Christmas Chronicles was)

To avoid confusion. I am talking about the OLD definition of shareware. Nowadays people seem to think that shareware is the same as trial software. The old definition of shareware is that you actually buy a game. Which you can then give to your friends for free.

HH94 and 95 can be easily aquired from two jazz sites I know of. (Haze's hideout and CoRuPt's site)

As for JJ2 HH98, It's at ebay for less then $5. Get it there. CC and TSF are the only rare ones.

As for the jj2 cd, Borrow your friends, and copy it. Better yet, watch ebay. Easy. Asking for "Warez" In this forum can get your topic closed, and in the worst case, banned.

@Pht2: join date 2004? Yeah, you're such an oldie. Also, maybe you should take a look at that topic and note that I have been actively participating.

@Link, Puffie and NS, thanks, guys. I'm not even going to bother. I was thinking about playing again but now I am just annoyed.

I do have one of the HH ones, if you're interested. It's in its original unpatched state, so you may have fun getting it to behave under Win2k/XP. It does run fine on a Win98 laptop however (Pentium 266 MMX).
I think I've got a copy of the *shareware* version of JJ1 somewhere as well.

I wouldnt mind haveing a copy of TSF But I have made use to not having it... Sorry my old J20 got hacked or somthing and i cant get my password back to it... IM NOT A NOOBIE LOL

Actually I joined earlier, I just forgot the password of PHT without the 2 and as I didn't knew a better name (though there might be many) and was too lazy to use the "forgot password" email thing I made PHT2. Actually I've seen you visited the gay-topic, but you seem not to have understood it. Now stop annoying me, as I don't want to argue now. Also my join date doesn't have anything to do with my character.

That doesn't change the fact she has been far more active than you. She'd be active again, but you came and distorted everything.

Guess what? hr tags are fun.

I know. I'm the evil which destroyed anything. -_-

Could you two please stop acting like little children and forgive me that I thought she was new? I'm just a human, and I'm definately not the reason why she shouldn't be active at all. I don't understand your logic Cooba. I did not say anything rude or something, so please let it be.

That's my logic.

To Derby: Christmas Chronicles isn't ilegal to download, isn't it?

It is (altough I'm not Derby)

I don't care at all. She won't be annoyed for years because of this stupid mistake made by me. I'm sorry and I excused me, that's all I can do. If now she plans to be angry on me forever, then that's her problem. I did everything I could.

I don't agree.

I agree on Newspaz, read his post about shareware something above this topic.

I bought Jazz 2 7 years ago and enjoy it still today. As for Jazz 1 I'll buy an old laptop and I'm sure it will run there.

An excerpt from their faq:

Despite the illegal status of abandonware, we believe that we are offering a valuable service to the gaming community: classic game collectors have a chance to retrieve games that have otherwise been lost or rendered defective with the passage of time. As our Disclaimer printed on every page makes clear, we will gladly remove download links to any game that is either 1) still being sold by the publisher, or 2) at the request of the publishers themselves. Encouraging publishers to continue publishing great classics of yore has always been this site's foremost goals, and we will gladly link to the publisher's order or download site without hesitation should they make their products available again, whether commercially or as freeware.

That said, we are continually seeking permission from copyright holders to distribute their games on this site. If you are a copyright holder and would like to grant us permission (or request that your games be taken off-line, as the case may be), please contact us. If you want to voice support for abandonware, check out the following petition sites:
The AbandonWare Petition
the International Campaign of Abandonware Supporters (ICAS)

Aren't you impairing profitability of the games' publishers and retailers by uploading them?

We are not impairing game publishers' profitability, as they have already realized profits from sales to the retailers (similar to the book industry). Admittedly, we are perhaps impairing the profits of retailers who still carry abandonware titles (insofar as anyone who wishes to buy them is content with downloading the file from HOTU). However, while we recognize and applaud the efforts of such retailers, we believe it is impractical to link to sites that sell only a handful of copies, which will sooner or later be irrevocably out of stock since the publishers no longer intends to print more copies. For example, announcing that game X can be bought by calling up a small shop in Belgium is hardly the most effective way to achieve our goal, which is to preserve underrated games for posterity. On the other hand, astute visitors will note that we do link to large on-line retailers that still sell abandonware titles (e.g. Chips & Bits and CD-ROM Access) because they have sufficiently large amounts of copies that demand could be sustained for a while.

As zealous game collectors ourselves, we also believe that it is always best to own the games in their original packaging, not only because it is the only form of legal ownership (and the "bragging rights" that come with owning one of the few remaining copies of out-of-print titles), but also because of the fun "freebies" that add tremendous value to the games and enhance the playing experience. Infocom games, for example, were vastly popular not only because they were excellent, but also because of the creative "freebies" Infocom would include in the box. We believe that very few gaming enthusiasts could resist the temptation to track down the original boxes, had they seen the 3-D comics (complete with 3-D glasses) that came with Leather Goddeses of Phobos, or the unique scratch-n-sniff card (with smells ranging from pizza to supposedly "alien" odor) in the Leather Goddesses of Phobos box that the player would be asked to scratch for appropriate smells at different points in the game. It isn't surprising that Infocom games always sell for a high price in on-line auctions.

Nothing pleases us more (other than finding games on our Want List) than hearing from visitors who found original copies of games they had never heard of through our site. Our Links page contains many links to auction sites, game exchanges, and large on-line vendors of both new and old games. In the future, we plan to add many freebie information to our Special Collections page (e.g. snapshots of "Best Freebie Comics" and "Best Freebie Figurines") to help increase the demand for games in original packaging as more gamers realize how much they are missing out.

Derby: Content removal. You cannot suggest illegally acquiring content to others in any way.

You know, abandonware is nothing officially existing and thus it is still illegal.

I support it though, but J2O does not allow this.

petran: That's nice and all, but it doesn't change the fact that downloading the games is illegal and they're all still being sold, now does it? It doesn't matter if a warez site has five thousand people saying "we want to get stuff for free", it's still illegal.

Where can you download HH94 and 95? I'll post links tommorow. Actually Blacksheep is a very old member of the comunity like me.

If you are from europe you still can buy christmas chronicles in some shops. (newer version)

HH94 and HH95 can be downloaded at Haze's Hideout.
