JJ2+ Documentation

Installing JJ2+ with GOG.com

What is JJ2+?

JJ2+ is a massive mod of Epic Games' 1998 masterpiece Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (JJ2), adding countless features and bug fixes to both Single Player and Multiplayer gameplay. One way to think of JJ2+ is as a series of tools built into various parts of the game to give you and other users more ways of creating new Jazzy experiences for yourselves. You can read the general documentation for more information.

Normally, you would install JJ2+ with an installer. This is not possible if you got your copy of JJ2 via GOG.com, as by default that version of JJ2 is not compatible with JJ2+. However, you can still install it with a few extra clicks. This page describes how.
