Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This must be what it first looked like, because on the JJ2 screenshots section of the official JJ2 site, it has a screenshot of an electroblaster being shot.

Also, look at this...

This is what the blue gem first looked like. I think it looked cooler, don't you? :-p

Here's a good look at the red gems...

Those are more screenshots, I'm gonna look at them now.

This is new?

Radium · May 11, 2003, 05:59 PM

I have a copy this version. The Electro Blaster used to shoot a white blade, and the upgraded version shot a blue blade. Pepperspray used to fire a JJ1-like toaster, and upgraded it shot a purple one. They probably changed these because they were too much like the blaster.

Trafton · May 11, 2003, 06:02 PM

It is the OEM version. Nothing new. ;-P

4I Falcon · May 11, 2003, 07:23 PM

New to me! Wat's OEM?

EvilMike · May 11, 2003, 08:16 PM

It's an extremely rare demo version of jazz2, basically. I belive it was included as a free bonus to some video and sound cards as a promotional tool.

Newspaz · May 11, 2003, 10:28 PM

I'd rather call it a beta though.

Hi, and welcome to 1998.

The OEM is cool. The backgrounds are awesome.

Sun Fun Dude · May 12, 2003, 01:12 AM

New to me to as when I got Jazz2 I didn't really go on the internet that much. Its only been about the last 2 years I really got into it.

Lark · May 12, 2003, 04:05 PM

Whoever said about the earlier version of the elctroblaster and pepperspray, can you tell us where to get pics of this?

**ShadowGPW** · May 12, 2003, 10:37 PM

Ive got the oem version - am glad that aint the full version..

it plays diff - has lotsof bugs and framerate drops :>

Same here. The jungle set is kinda funky as well. And the tilesets are built into the levels.

Krezack · May 13, 2003, 02:29 AM

I don't have the OEM.
I don't know much about the OEM.
I don't want the OEM.
I don't care about the OEM.

Skulg · May 13, 2003, 08:15 AM

Now you made me curious. I want OEM. :/

Shiverz CC · May 13, 2003, 08:36 AM

The jungle levels look more detailed on OEM and im sure theres alot of bugs. Ive played it but unfortunety it wasnt mine I think it came free with the computer that was bought

IMO they look messier.

Ditto. I don't like being left out on things like this.

Though, you still haven't told me what OEM means.

Lark · May 13, 2003, 11:01 AM

I WANT OEM!

Anybody have it??

Fawriel · May 13, 2003, 11:22 AM

Dalspots does.

Lark · May 13, 2003, 01:10 PM

Who's he?

Tubz · May 13, 2003, 01:16 PM

Hmm, i'm still wondering what went through the designers heads. When they decided to change the weapon into what it is today. It was a stupid idea, these original prototypes look 100 times better.

Violet CLM · May 13, 2003, 01:30 PM

The grass is always greener on the other side of the tracks, Tublear.

Lark · May 13, 2003, 02:08 PM

I hate proverbs, and never understood what they mean, so what does that mean?

Tubz · May 13, 2003, 03:02 PM

Let's see if I can interpret Violet's quote right. "What you see in front of you isn't the whole thing, you need to look around it sometimes."

Violet CLM · May 13, 2003, 03:24 PM

...no. More on the order of "We always want what we don't have, and what we have, we don't think much of."

"Grass is always greener on the other side of the tracks." Funny how so many people seem to get hit while crossing.

Lark · May 13, 2003, 03:53 PM

Stop, proverbs scare me! I have proverbaphobia! Just kidding, but really, what does that mean?

Radium · May 13, 2003, 03:54 PM

I means that no matter what you have, something else always looks better, even if it's just the same or even worse.

Unhit · May 14, 2003, 05:48 AM

Cool. Didn't know anything about this version. Anyone could send it to me?

Newspaz · May 14, 2003, 06:10 AM

You know, you just made a warez request, right?

Trafton · May 14, 2003, 06:12 AM

The OEM version is not free. It came free with computer hardware. The idea behind that is that you are supposed to purchase the hardware to get the software along with it. OEM is not intended to be distributed alone. Thus, that is a warez request.

Tik · May 14, 2003, 06:33 AM

Technicalities.

Tubz · May 14, 2003, 07:56 AM

I will always wonder why the early versions of games like the OEM versions always look better than the final released version of the game.

Unhit · May 14, 2003, 10:29 AM

Oh...nevermind my post then

.

Lark · May 14, 2003, 12:15 PM

How can that be warez if we all ready have Jazz 2?

We didn't buy the OEM, we bought the official release.

RockyR · May 15, 2003, 10:58 AM

It certainly would be cool if someone converted the tilesets for our use, though . . . but it seems like there aren't too many people owning OEM. I remember there being some interesting differences and so forth.

Newspaz · May 15, 2003, 11:59 AM

Oh btw, if anyone'd like to see the Jungle OEM, I uploaded a screenshot of that. You can find it here.

And of course there are still these old (pre-OEM) Jazz2Warehouse screenies.

Not bad either, IMO. And I must say I really prefer this version of Diamondus above the current one.

Fawriel · May 15, 2003, 12:11 PM

Well, the Diamondus in that screeny is definitely a lot worse... but the other ones are pretty cool... especially that monkey. It seems to be hanging on the branch... o_o
