- My apologies for the format of this FAQ. My first priority is CREATING
- it. Someday I might make it pretty.
-
- Legal junk:
-
- For some reason, all FAQs seem to have legal junk at the beginning, so
- what the heck, I'll do it as well. This FAQ is NOT copyrighted. I
- have severe moral problems attempting to claim copyright on something
- that is nothing more than a compilation of information which can be
- found elsewhere. I didn't create a single byte of this information, I
- merely wrote it up. That being the case, this FAQ is now yours to do
- with as you please. Feel free to repost it, mail it to your friends,
- print it out and line the bird cage with it, I really don't care.
-
- More legal junk:
-
- Epic does not officially support this FAQ. That's MY name up there,
- not Epic's, and I'm not an employee of Epic. They may/may not have it
- on their BBS/FTP site/whatever, but that doesn't mean a single byte
- found here is representative of Epic's opinions.
-
- Where to get Jazz Jackrabbit:
-
- Epic's official distribution site is:
-
- ftp.uml.edu /msdos/Games/Epic/1jazz.zip
-
- There is an echo of that site at:
-
- ftp.uwp.edu /pub/msdos/games/uml/Epic/1jazz.zip
-
- I can't connect to those sites!
-
- Sorry. Keep trying. I'm sure it is also somewhere on wuarchive, but
- since I can't connect there...EVER...I can't confirm it. Both uml and
- uwp will refuse logins when full. uml doesn't tell you, those...it just
- fails to recognize anonymous users.
-
- What to do if you have problems running jazz:
-
- 99.9999999% (cool...nine 9's) of the problems people think they have
- with jazz are because you didn't use a clean boot. Even if you DO have
- enough memory to run it, it often will benefit from a clean boot (hit F5
- when Starting MSDos 6.x...use a boot disk otherwise). If you DON'T have
- enough memory, use a clean boot to get it. If you STILL don't have
- enough, think about upgrading to 4 meg.
-
- How do I cheat at JAZZ?
-
- Hey, ya came to the right place. This FAQ had its start as a cheat list.
- I do not claim to have the complete list of cheats, but this is what
- I have discovered and what has been reported to me. If you know of one
- not listed, send me mail and I'll add it.
-
- To activate the cheats, press 'p-backspace-<codeword>'.
-
- arjan : HAHAHA displayed on the screen
- gunhed : Gives you all the weapons.
- tim : AWESOME displayed on the screen
- check : Displays some numbers on lower left of screen
- greetz : Displays an "Arjan Greetz" window
- doom : Makes monsters FASTER and HARDER.
- lamer : Jump to the next level
- mark : Will lose a life, and start over. Useful if trapped.
- bouf : Invincibility (for a while)
- sable : Super Sonic Speed (sorry...couldn't resist)
- cstrike: Airboard
- hooker : Takes you to the Bonus Level when current scene is done.
- Same as collecting red gem.
- bad : Gives you the bird (I promised not to say anything)
- ken : Boss key.
- hocus : Teleports. MUST have an enemy above or below you.
-
- Soon to come...a cheat to jump REALLY high.
-
-
- Those cheats don't work for me!!!
-
- If the above method doesn't work for you, your copy is probably 1.1.
- Type 'p-backspace-dd<codeword>' to use the cheats.
-
- *NOTE*: I hear rumours that there is a 'carrot' cheat for version 1.1.
- As I don't have 1.1, I can't confirm this, but if there is one it probably
- gives you life energy.
-
- Problems installing Jazz:
-
- Some people have had some problems with Jazz doing funny things.
- When you install it, remember a few things:
-
- 1> The manual says you need 10 meg to run/load Jazz. First, it is
- wrong. (Specs ALWAYS change right after you finish the manual...it's
- Federal Law). You need 13 meg. DOUBLE that (around 20ish) to do a
- proper installation, and as most Stacker users know, double that again
- to compensate for the estimated compression.
-
- 2> It IS possible you got a bad disk. If you try everything, and it
- still won't load properly, call Epic and report the problem.
