DO NOT ASK ME WHERE I GOT THIS OR IF I CAN SEND IT TO YOU. Thanks. One thing I’ve decided to do here on Youtube is upload videos of rare/strange games that people might be interested in seeing in motion, but do not have access to them. It’s easier to see a streaming video than deal with the hassle of acquiring most games. This is the unreleased Jazz Jackrabbit 3D beta. History on Jazz: Jazz Jackrabbit filled a hole in PC gaming: The side-scrolling platformer. While the Sega Genesis got Sonic, and Nintendo had Mario, plus countless clones of each, the PC never really got games like that – until Jazz Jackrabbit came along. Jazz combined the speed of Sonic, the platforming of Mario, and the gun play of Contra into one really great game, and it was one of the games that helped transform Epic MegaGames (who would later go on to make Unreal and Unreal Tournament) into what they are today. Jazz Jackrabbit 3D was to be the third installment of this popular series, built on the Unreal ’99 engine. Unfortunately, despite Jazz Jackrabbit 2 being a critical success, it was not a very profitable game to make, and Epic had a tough time finding a publisher for Jazz 3. In May 2000, the game was officially canned. All that remains is this proof-of-concept beta. The video will be uploaded in 3 seperate 10 minute parts, showing most (but not quite all) of the beta.
