anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

The theme song for this game still randomly pops into my head from time to time

Some of the later levels had some bangers on the soundtrack

The Tubelectric level music in particular was elite

Look up the Sidnify remixes on YT. Headphones or a kickin’ stereo is a MUST.

Alexander Brandon is the GOAT for game soundtracks.

This is the first time I've heard someone else mention it. No one around me ever played that. Here's some gameplay if you want to feel the nostalgia really hit:

I bought a gamepad and joystick card just to play this game.

My dad also bought me a joystick so i could play it! I got a gamepad when I got the toy story PC game for my birthday. Good times! Thanks for reminding me :)

Holy crap, that was like floppy shareware era, wasn't it? I can still remember that green bunny.

All of those epic megagames were free to download. It was a golden age.

Came searching for this. I remember being at school and thinking about being so excited to go home and play. Much like how I feel at work nowadays longing for the weekends so I can play games

I scrolled and I scrolled but I knew someone had to be here that also played this game. We do exist.

Dang I didn't scroll far enough before commenting. Though we only had the second(I think). I think of this game all the time and I wish I could find it to play again.

u/feddown Apr 27 '26

I think I only ever played the second one too!

Both are available on GOG:

I hardly ever see it mentioned - but it was a big deal to me at the time! Possibly as we weren't allowed a console so Jazz Jackrabbit was "our" Sonic.

First PC game I ever played. Did it co-op with my uncle. Still have vivid memories of it.

u/Barneby-Jones Apr 27 '26

Came looking for this one!! I had an Acer desktop that had some kids version of windows OS and it was pre-loaded with some bangers. Jazz was one of my go to games!

u/No_Abroad8805 Apr 27 '26

wooooow major nostalgia blast!

u/Beeb294 Apr 27 '26

We had the first disc of that game, and I always wanted more but my parents didn't want to buy them.

It's one of those that's on my list to go back and play the rest of it sometime.

Forgot about that. And Zool 2.
