The standalone version's here, at a cost of 22Mb, or if you have the original Jazz 2 installed, you can grab the teeny one. Oddly, I experienced some nasty slowdown, which is either an incompatibility with Windows 7 or something, or 6Gb of RAM isn't enough to run a platform game from 1998. As I didn't, I can't usefully comment on how it compares to the originals. As in, idle curiosity probably isn't worth indulging - this is likely only for those who played Jazz 1/2 to death, I suspect. It's pretty enough despite the low resolution, but very early 90s in its presentation, music and mechanics. Regardless, it's up on Moddb and it features four new Jazz levels, playable as the green manrabbit himself, his sister Lori or, yes, Spaz. I'm not entirely sure which side of the legal grey zone this falls on, as it can be played without owning Jazz 2.

Wait: Epic actually got away with that in a commercial game? Or is it just a term of abuse in the UK, not the US? Oh, CliffyB.

The hope of this release is to find the best values for each command. In theory, lower numbers should mean the server has a more accurate idea of where you are, for purposes of determining whether other players’ bullets hit you. pxiclient sets how often you, a client, tell the server where you are. In theory, this should have limited effect on gameplay (except for melee attacks), but lower numbers should make the game visually smoother for clients. pxiserver sets how often the server tells clients where other players are. As such, there’s an experimental new JJ2+ build that allows more frequent update speeds. However, most of us are not using 56K modems anymore.
