I must say that I am very disappointed with Epic MegaGames' decision to make
Jazz Jackrabbit a Windows 95 only game.  I did enjoy what I saw of the original
Jazz Jackrabbit, and was definately looking forward to a sequel.  But I don't
intend to install Windows 95 on my system to simply play a few games.

Well Epic consider an OS/2, DOS, or UNIX port at any time in the future?
