Jazz Jackrabbit is a fantastic series of games. I've been to the darkest corners of the world digging up some of these Jazz Jackrabbit games, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. There are 9 Jazz Jackrabbit games included, plus music, and important patches.

Games

# Jazz Jackrabbit (1994)
The first Jazz Jackrabbit game, and my personal favorite. Most people noticed many simularities between JJ and Sonic the Hedgehog right away. It's a platformer, you're a rabbit with a gun which can be upgraded with a plethora of different weapons.

# Jazz Jackrabbit: Christmas Edition (1994)
The first JJ Christmas game which included 3 new levels (Christmas themed.)

# Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare '95 (1995)
The second JJ Christmas title which included 2 new Christmas levels.

# Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (1998)
The sequel to Jazz Jackrabbit. Includes: A new playable character (Spaz, Jacks brother), Multiplayer over a LAN or internet servers, Time Travel, updated look and feel and LOADS of new levels, etc.

# Jazz Jackrabbit 2: Holiday Hare '98 (1998)
The second Holiday Jazz game; christmas theme.

# Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files (1999)
Easter JJ game. Introduced another playable character (Lori, Jacks sister), new levels with new graphics. Considered by many to be the best Jazz game.

# Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Christmas Chronicles (2000)
Updated version of Holiday '98. Had Jack, Lori and Spaz as playable characters.

# Jazz Jackrabbit 3 (Unreleased)
A solid 3d version of Jazz Jackrabbit. Canceled sometime in May 2000. It used the Unreal Engine including the multiplayer support. Hard to find, great game though; I wish it was finished.


Utilities and Patches

There are thousands of Jazz Jackrabbit patches on the internet, I included only the ones that I think are the most useful are are good to start off with (sort of like the bare minimum). If you want some that are for fun or extra levels, etc. Just search and you'll find them.
