We need some old school platformers on gog.com, and I think Jazz Jackrabbit would be a perfect fit. It's an Epic game, and gog.com does offer Unreal Tournament. So, it's a possibility, right?
Interesting idea. Trouble is, old school platforming is much more of a console thing, there are not many good pc platformers, and most that are out there are ports or emulations of console games. Good thought, but limited choice.
Also, have you put it on or voted for it on the wishlist?

the thread already exists

When someone creates a new thread, do you always search for it first just so you can be the guy to say, "it already exists." Do you ever contribute anything else? I mean, you created a steam thread. Do you honestly think that doesn't exist already?

I've never played Jazz Jackrabbit.

Stop acting like an elitist oldfag.
YES THANK YOU
I put this as my fanboy game
It is one of my top three ever
I know I had a great time with it. As a kid, it was one of those games that I could dedicate all my attention to, until I completed the game. Problem is, aside from not remembering the ending, I can't even remember what made it so great. Can someone refresh my memory why Jazz Jackrabbit was so awesome?

Because it's got a crazy story and it's made by EPIC which means it must be EPIC and only GoG should carry EPIC games made by EPIC.

It came out around the same time as Sonic the Hedgehog, and for the kids who played PC games instead of sega, it was pretty much their sonic. He was fast like sonic, and even the levels looked similar.

Oh. And also for like 2 Christmases in a row, EPIC released some free Christmas themed levels. I think you can actually still download them somewhere for free. You don't need the full version to play them.
Never played it.
As far as old school platform games go, I would love to see the Commander Keen series and Duke Nukem platform games.
if this game has gamepad compatibility I would totally get it. Hell even if it didn't, bring it on! I want to play it!
