Happy New Year Community!
Happy we made it another year with this community, I thought we might die out. :(
I hope no one got "Y2Ked" by that mean old Y2K bug. I sure didn't. :)
Happy New Year, and hopes for a nice year in the community!
I'm still as insane as ever....

There is a new clans list now online.. it`s a nifty looking site and if you have a clan+ a website you really should send it.. here is what Jeh had to say...
"ClanList is our new site.. Clans list get all the J2 clans to ad themselves :)
plus I posted a trivia question thingy on PlanetJeh.com too :)"
Please take a look.. :)
ok.. not all of them were found, but that's OK.
The Power UOI contest is over. The winner was: JJ Tublear and second place went to Shadow RR. Shadow, I don't have your email address, please email me.
Guess that's all for today...
Prepare for a shock.. I'm caught up with the Downloads! (and it only took 15 hours ;)
If I can stay caught up, I'll get rid of the Unrated Levels section. I'm sure I'll at least be able to keep things updated for the rest of the winter break, so this would be a good time to submit stuff.. although it would be nice if you listened to what my cousin is saying below. ;-)
First.. Wakeman has been posting good stuffs at Jazz 2 Stuff. Don't forget to go read all this good stuffs...
Second, (this relates to the first news) if at all possible, Don't send work to Wakeman until after January 1, 2000!
Third, Dino is a really cool guy. :) I recently bought a apartment on Mt. Diamondus for 60 carrots ( %=(||| > ) a month. :) oh, and btw, I'm making a nice new Mt. Diamondus level. :)
Btw.. I'm insane.
Cya!
I'm holding a contest on the JMMB to see who the real Jazz Jackrabbit is. Click Here to see it. I'm picking three judges to judge all the forms. They will be the only ones alowed to judge. To enter just go the URL I put down and put whoever you think (It can be yourself) and the reason why. Forms without reasons will not be responded to.
Yet another multiplayer launcher has emerged, and this could very well be the best one yet. Jazz2Spy, created by Everlasting UOI, is the first MP launcher that includes a server list. It has a good layout and lots of features. You can download the awesome program at The Jazz2Spy Website.
Just updating to say I'm back! Make sure you e-mail me at FrozenWing@Hotmail.com.
After months of being down, Ripsaw has brought back Jazz World. There are many new sections, including Links, Stories, Pictures, and a weekly poll, although there isn't too much to see yet. The site may eventually move to www.JazzWorld.com, but for the time being you can view it at www.angelfire.com/mn2/jazz.
We've already posted about this before, but Atmcdragon sent in a couple interesting screen shots. Both are from an Internet game. This one shows a player who turned into a huge Jazz, and this one has someone who turned into a shield box. :) I believe you can do this kind of stuff by shooting bird-morph boxes in Party Mode and in some circumstances you'll see weird things...
Also, Y2K Taco discovered that there are many items in the upper-right corner of official Battle 1 that can only be reached using cheat codes. This screenshot shows them all.
The Level Group links is updated today!
Yeah! not much has been changed Like i added a news section but anyways now you can send yer Level Group Agian..
BTW Merry X-Mass
Jazz 2 City would like to wish all of you a very Merry, Christ-filled Christmas. I encourage you to take time today to thank God for bringing his Son into the world to die for our sins. Afterall, that is the true meaning of Christmas: the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Read Luke 2:1-20 to learn more about Jesus' birth. It could change your life.
Ok.. not to discourage you guys from sending me Clan Links, but since you all know that I am the new updated of clan links, you have sent me LOTS! So many that I haven't finished them yet. But.. they'll be up soon. :)
(Dethman, couldn't you make this easier for me and Wakeman? :) PLEASE?
Jazz Central shows us that El Nino has not messed up our snow. :) Go look! It's awesome! :)
Ripsauce (I hope that's his real JJ2 name ;) is starting a new JJ2 clan. Normally I wouldn't post about something like this (as the sheer number of clans being created/changed all the time would clog up the news), but this clan looks different. You know how we like originality here at J2C. :) One of the most interesting things about it is its use of a Point System. In this clan, you can move up in rank by doing different things for the clan. They also have a members only area on their web site, another interesting thing. Personally, I'd say this clan looks promising. Check out their web site, and see if you agree. :)

The Main part of this is, is already posted before by wakedude but anyways here we go.. :)
Every one that orderd the JJ2CC from Project 2 had a letter with some bad news
Because of problems Project 2 Interactive can`t get the release before x-mass (Gah!) but it will be released by a new name Jazz 2000 or Jazz Jackrabbit: The Winter Edition.
but the good news is that it gets a few extra stuff now! (Yeah!)
So we can expect Jazz 2000 (The Winter Edition) begin Januari
Erik Schreuder, the Marketing Manager at Project 2, says that they are having problems with the production of Jazz 2: Christmas Chronicles. It's currently unknown if it will even be released at all. If it is, the name will probably be changed because it won't be released this holiday season.
On a brighter note, I read at PlanetJeh that Holiday Hare 1998 is available at Staples in their Budget PC title section. So, check both Staples and CompUSA for the game.
Jeh also added that HH98 came with a free trial of AOL. Of course, we all know what the best use for an AOL CD is... :-)
Because the server of my webpage had died due to Y2K (rats, huh?), I have had to switch my page to here. I've got all the results of my contest right, and I can add more. Please continue to search for the Power UOI Icons.
Thought I'd do a lttle advertising here. I know we don't usually do this, that's why I put this with the other news, so it wasn't by itself. Anyway, I received this from Speedy (the real one):
Speedy has started a new clan, the Jaguars and is now accepting members. You cannot already be in a clan, you gave to put JAG either before or after your name, and have to face Speedy in the tryouts. If you would like to join the clan, please e-mail him at ROSSBYRD@aol.com and he'll schedule a duel.
Ok, last news for today: Keep sending me those levels for my pack!

Got this from Jazzcentral..New JCMB Layout
Ok, I've been told by a number of people that the JCMB was getting old and boring. So I decided to redo the layout, graphics...
It still has the blue color scheme to it, but what else did you want? Red? Yellow? Green? Orange? Purple? (That be interesting) Neon? (Can that be done on computers?)
Also, there is a new title image done by Inglis Designs (AKA. UnKnOwN), that I think you will all like.
I removed 2 of the least popular JCMB fourms, the Jazz Jackrabbit Editing (Editing your Jazz/Spaz/Lori character names, colors...), and the JCMB Files (Where you upload a signature image file, and you tell people about it. You can still upload, but the forum is gone.)
Also, a few minor JCMB hacks were installed, but they are so minor, I won't bother describing them. :-)
Well, you gonna sit here reading this, or are you gonna go and visit the JCMB? Remember, registration is 100% free! :)
StevenT
Hmm... It looks Nifty to me.. :)
For those of you who are not Dutch (hi shadow!), Christmas is coming up in about 5 days. I hope you will all remember the true meaning of Christmas, even if you aren't Christian.
Eh.. second reason for this post. Don't send too much work to Wakeman (Steven). We'd like him to have a nice, restful Holiday break. :)
Happy Christmas!
The Mystic Legends levels are now on the PC-Zone Benelux Cd-Rom (accept Cyberspazz and QoB because the file is TOO big).. So if you see the new PC-Zone Benelux.. then get it.. :)
Source: The NEW spaz
After mine ICQ chat with The NEW spaz. He came with an new idea..
Tilesets by Request. That means, got an idea? is it good? I will make it.. he also made a Homepage where you can read all abbout it!
Heh, there is a Gredit to me and Steven Wakeman
Well.. this isn't really news, but I'm creating a level pack, and I MIGHT use some other people's level, besides my own, in it. The requirements are as follows:
1. All levels must be created after December 18, 1999. I won't accept any older levels, I want new ones.
2. All levels must not have broken warps, or anything missing. Have them tested first, then send them to me and I'll think about putting them in my level pack. If you are picked, feel happy. :)
3. All text in levels must not have swearing, or references to.. yeah, bad things... in them.
4. Send away!
5. All levels must have music.
The last poll received a good 167 votes.
What do you think of the holiday JMMB layout?
Totally awesome! (69) -41%-
It's ok.. (22) -13%-
Horrible. (15) -9%-
DethMan is the Grinch! :-) (61) -37%-
hehe, poor DethMan. =) Scroll up to see our new old poll.
extended. I guess there is no date that you have to find them by, since December 15 came and went. Shadow RR is leading the pack, having found a whopping.. 2!!!!! Wow! :)
Listen.. I'm not sure if I should even bother to continue this contest, as there aren't too many ppl that seem interested. Also, I reckon some of you already have the prize, as it is posted right here at J2C.
If you want me to continue the contest, email me.
Thanks for your time, and.. be looking for a SPECIAL post from me one of these days....
GreenKiller has discovered a "secret bullet" which may stem from the special Pepper Spray in the OEM version of Jazz 2, shown in this screenshot. You cannot fire these bullets, but you can put them in your levels in TSF. GreenKiller included a screenshot of what the normal and powered-up bullets look like. Here's how to do it:
In the Events selection window, select No Event and check the Generator box. For normal bullets: DELAY: 1, EVENT: 7. For powered-up bullets: DELAY: 1, EVENT: 15. This only works in TSF.
JJ2:CC
Source: Project 2 email
JJ2:CC has been delayed agian now the release is 20 December 1999.
Why?I don`t have any info about this.. :(
Cyberspaz
Source: Dethman`s Jmmb topic and server
I dunno why Dethman did not post this on Jazz2city.. anyways I take it then. (hehehe..)
After the release of Cyberspaz he is going to put some Information on this URL. I think Dethman will post soon more detials about it. I may like be him a ML but I don`t have any clue how this is going to be! but if it`s like QoB then you can expect some really good stuff! So in other words, please no Messages or Emails about this but you can bore mine "boss".. ehm Dethman with this.. hehe!! ;)
oh.. and almost forgot he had a server up with cyberspaz info.
Sorry
DWakeman is taking it over (why shad?) Because I was to buzzy with collage. I hope you guys can understand this. :-/
but I update soon the Level Groups agian.. :)
Sorry for all trouble...
If any of you saw those weird messages on J2C earlier, I'm sorry, my friend was acting like an idiot and posting under my name. :-)
His name is John Erwin, be sure to all email me with the subject "I hate John Erwin" as the subject for the email, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks. :-)
Onag's Treasure Hunt 99 seems to have started a trend, as yet another contest has emerged in which you must locate pictures on Jazz 2 websites to win prizes. This time, you are looking for card icons in Magic Card's contest. Goto his website to learn more.
If you're starting a clan and need some tips, check out Shadow[GpW]'s guide on "How to be a Good Clan Leader". The facts are simple, but useful.
The bad news: CoC 3 has been terminated.
The good news: It has been replaced with something better: The Jazz Duelist's Challenge! The difference in JDC is that you get to challenge anybody you want and duel them anytime you choose, unlike CoC 3 where everything was predetermined. I think it's a better system and there's a good possibility it will work out if people participate. So, head over to the JDC site, join the competition, and start dueling!
I am the new updater of the Clans Page. :)
The boom of new websites hasn't ended, and Dino's latest project is proof. Check out Dino's Stuff to see what the village idiot has been up to. While you're there, post a message or two on Dino's Ultimate Message Board (DUMB). He could use some new sections for the site, so post your ideas there.
The long search is over for the Jazz2 Players League, as cheeze has finally found a home for the tournament's website. Head on over to http://jpl.nagcentral.com/ and have a look around. The site is still being rebuilt, so don't expect much, but hopefully the next season will be announced soon.
I wanna remind all you Fans that December 15, 1999 is rapidly approaching. If you don't remember, December 15 is the day that my Find Power UOI contest ends. Go here to read more about this, if you forgot.
And... Wakeman is Biased. :-)
And... Spring is the friend of "The BOX".
Cyas!
Both Jazz 2 Online and Jazz 1 Online have been decorated for the holidays. Although both sites still don't have much on them, they sure do look great.
I have been informed by somebody living in the Los Angeles, CA area that Holiday Hare 1998 was on sale at CompUSA for $10 with a $9 rebate. You might as well check to see if your local CompUSA sells the game. If they don't have it, the Gathering of Developers still has the game on sale for the same price at their online store. Or, you can order over the phone by calling [Toll Free] 1 877-GODGAMES.
If you live in the US, I really don't think there's any reason to buy Jazz 2: CC from Europe. The only other things it comes with are 10 levels from Project 2's TSF level-designing contest and JCS. Only European residents can participate in the new level-designing contest, and I believe the JCS is the same one TSF comes with. So, you'd be much better off just ordering HH98 from G.O.D.

I'm leaving, and so is Chod, and NamhteD!
Visit this topic on the JCMB for more details.
This is the picture Shadow was talking about in his post below. Pretty niftyful. :-)
Gah! Epic or What ever closed the servers a min ago I tried to connect to a server but I saw no servers! I thought it was mine connection....nope...
I asked a few on ICQ if they could connect but noo.. they could not so it only could be one thing.. they are down or they are repairing it.. :(
I hope it will be over soon because this is bad.. anyways you can still play with out the servers but you need to know each others IP adress then.. More news laters..
That's right, Lori Central is now full of holiday festivity =)
Well.. not Wakeman but StevenT uploaded for me on Jazzcentral.. so this is the Image.
Thanks StevenT.. :)

In these Chrismas levels of the PC hit Jazz Jackrabbit, never gefore released in Europe, out favorite rabbits have brand-new adventures in cold, snowy landscapes, where there are many evil enemies.

Voting for the Tileset of the Year contest at Rabbits Only has begun. Click here to place your vote for your favorite tileset. Also, RO has a spiffy Christmas layout you'll want to check out.
Jazz Central has brought back their site ranker. You can vote for J2C here. Be honest. Not even I gave J2C a 10. :)
Cottontail has returned to the community with some good news: Jazz 2 Christmas Chronicles is now avaible for pre-order at Games Terminal. They are the same people who sold TSF online for us. Unfortunately, the game costs £23, (counting shipping) which is around $37 in US dollars. I think that's a pretty hefty price for a game like that, but if you live in the US or Canada and want it, this could be your only chance. Games Terminal will start shipping on December 3.
If you live in Europe, continue to look for the game in local stores.
Rabbits Only has added a GoTo Searchbox onto their news page. This will earn them $0.03 every time someone uses the search from their site. The purpose of this is to get RO their own domain! So if you think that would be cool, go to Rabbits Only and click on the Searchbox, at least once. ;)

Noogy is now taking a poll at NoogyLand to see if there is interest in his plan for an Animation Instructional Video. It would actually be a complete kit, containing a video (with step-by-step instructions and examples), and beginner's supplies. Noogy estimates about $20-$30 as the price for the entire kit. If this sounds good to you, go on over to NoogyLand and Vote yes! :)
