* Package name : openjazz Version : 20171024 Upstream Author : Alister Thomson <http://www.alister.eu/> * URL : http://www.alister.eu/jazz/oj/ * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: C++ Description : a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit™ games OpenJazz is a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit™ games. . Jazz Jackrabbit™ 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. . With the demise of DOS-based operating systems, it has become necessary to use emulators to play old DOS games. Jazz Jackrabbit™ deserves more - and would benefit greatly from new features. . To play, you will need the files from one of the original games. I have put g-d-p in CC, because (a) proprietary game data will be necessary to actually play the game. There is a shareware version available for free (beer) download and GOG has just re-released all available versions in a single package. Furthermore, (b) we will have to decide on a file system location for the game data that both g-d-p use to install the data files and that openjazz uses to search for these files.
