OpenJazz is a free, open-source loader version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit games by Epic Games.

Jazz Jackrabbit was a PC platform game.

Produced by Epic Games, 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.

The main feature of this loader is to allow high resolutions without pixelation, not available using DOSBOX and supports also mod sound: OS/2 DOS window session does not support Jazz Jackrabbit.

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.
