OpenJazz is an engine that can be used to play the commercial Sonic clone Jazz Jackrabbit (the original files are required accordingly). It was ported for AmigaOS 4 back in 2012 already by Roman 'kas1e' Kargin. Since then, OpenJazz has undergone several additions and has been converted to SDL2 though.

George Sokianos now has released an updated version for AmigaOS 4:

OpenJazz – Jazz Jackrabbit – Released for AmigaOS 4

Hi there,

Thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂

When I visited OS4Depot today, I noticed that George Sokianos a.k.a. Walkero had released a new game port for AmigaOS 4. This time he brought over Jazz Jackrabbit to the platform! This is a fun and entertaining platform game series that was created and started by Epic Megagames back in 1994. After the first game, others in the series followed such as Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and Jazz Jackrabbit 3. You can read more about this on Wikipedia.

Walkero writes in the documentation:

This is the port of openjazz to AmigaOS 4.

OpenJazz is a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit(TM)
games.

To play, you will need the files from one of the original games.

With the demise of DOS-based operating systems, it has become necessary to use
emulators to play old DOS games. Jazz Jackrabbit(TM) deserves more – and would
benefit greatly from new features.

Jazz Jackrabbit(TM) is a PC platform game. Produced by Epic Games (then Epic
MegaGames), it was first released in 1994. The fast-paced, colourful gameplay
proved popular, and the game won PC Format’s Arcade Game of the Year award.
Many people still fondly recall the shareware versions.

If you want to download the AmigaOS 4 port, please head over to OS4Depot by clicking here.

Keep in mind that you’ll need the data files. Walkero has tested the port with the data files from the games from GOG (Good Old Games). They currently have a -84% discount on the Jazz Jackrabbit Collection right now if you are interested.

Roman “Kas1e” Kargin created a port of this game series back in 2012. Since then, the OpenJazz project has received several updates. It now uses SDL2 for example. Due to problems with the bonus stage on many platforms, it has been disabled in the new OpenJazz version. This stage works fine in Kas1e’s old port.

If you are happy about George Sokianos work, you can support him on Ko-Fi. There he shares news and other interesting information about his projects. 🙂

Thanks for reading. See you in another post here on the Old School Game Blog!
