In the great mascot character wars of the 90's, Nintendo had Mario, Sega had Sonic the Hedehog, and the PC had Jazz Jackrabbit. Two of those characters are big enough have their own movie franchises now. The other one is Jazz Jackrabbit.

Nevertheless, back when work on the Unreal engine hadn't even started yet and before Epic became a billion dollar Fortnite force, they were Epic MegaGames and they released Jazz Jackrabbit the little game that could... show off your Super VGA graphics card.

Yeah this game didn't change the world, although it did get is own sequel and there was even the beginnings of a Super Mario 64 leap into 3D, but it's still a pretty charming game that's fun to play, if nowhere near as polished as its cartridge comrades.
