A quick look at the early history of platformers on PC doesn't turn up a lot of treasure.

It's not a complicated game, as if the name"Captain Comic" wasn't a bit of a clue, but it's more advanced than you might think. It bothers with a few things that many games that followed wouldn't, including correcting a jump in the air, as well as taking the view that if you had a gun, you'd probably want to use it.

That makes it all the stranger that the game intended to be Jill of the Jungle's follow-up ended up morphing into an original game called... wait for it..."Vinyl Goddess From Mars." With a name like that on its title screen, a game only has two possible ways to go. See if you can guess which one it chose!

Jazz Jackrabbit was followed by a sequel, which paired Jazz with the unfortunately named partner"Spaz" and a 3D version was in production for a while. It's not hard to find a copy of that if you poke around, but I wouldn't bother. It's very primitive stuff. The original shareware version though? I had some great times with that, and it's one of the very few shareware games I ever personally registered with my pocket money.
