Btw, GOG offers alternate Jazz downloads with modern engine reimplementation bundled in.

Also I'm not a community, I'm a person. A person who sometimes doesn't like certain games. Even DOS classics.

No, as in DOS port of an Amiga platformer. Cool MT-32 sound effects though.

A person is a person. My name is on this Twitter account. I fully support a DOS community forming, but it doesn't change me into a community, rather I'm just a part of it. Fire & Ice was okay.
