Jazz also suffers from an unfortunate bug if you run it on a machine that is too fast. In 1994 machines like this were around, but still expensive, and many wouldn’t upgrade for a while. You probably really need a 486 33Mhz but ideally 50Mhz. The minimum specifications in the documentation say about a 33Mhz, but when I set up the equivalent in Dosbox I found frequent slowdowns. However I played under Dosbox and found that it would have required quite a beefy machine for the time in order to play. The game supports exclusively VGA graphics, which by 1994 was the norm. ![]() ![]() In-game sprites are large and detailed with plenty of frames of animation to go wih them. Animations are similarily also very good. The graphics are like they came straight out of a comic book. The first thing I noticed was how amazingly good the artwork for this game is. It can be exceptionally hard finding a registered copy of this game, so today I’m playing the shareware version. ![]() Today is my first time playing Jazz, as my DOS machine back in the day was simply not powerful enough, that and I was never exposed to it. ![]() Your character, Jazz Jackrabbit, has to save the princess Eva Earlong from the bad guy, Devan Shell. It is an action platformer with a quirky story based on the old fable of the Tortoise and the Hare. Todays game, Jazz Jackrabbit was made by Epic Megagames back in 1994.
