To be fair tho, Jazz Jackrabbit copied a couple of different games, notably Sonic. Seriously, look at the bonus levels!

For comparison, here's Sonic CD's

Because of this, I won't be surprised that Jazz's appearance was inspired by Bucky.
Although the fact that Jazz's 3D bonus levels were completely software-rendered and did not use a GPU of any kind, and was playable on a 386DX/33, is impressive. I even had to patch it (merge the registered full version with the Holiday Hare shareware, then patch the game's Turbo Pascal CRT divide by zero bug) to make it run on a P2-550 properly!
Yeah, my current retrogaming rig is overkill with 256MB of RAM and a P2-550. I'm gonna add a Voodoo-1 (or if possible, two Voodoo2s in SLI) to the machine once I have some cash. I already added a SIMMConn and a 8MB DIMM Module to my AWE64 to boost it's memory, and a Gravis Ultrasound PNP with 8MB of RAM as well (two 4MB SIMMs) so that Epic MegaGame titles (and The Lion King) sound better.

Hope no one here ever used one of the cheapo tablets for banking.

Was it just me, or does Bluebox's advisory smell like FUD?

Sure enough, some of them tablets are known to have trojans like the infamous Demo lock, but imo any device can be subject to hacking especially if you're complacent when it comes to security.
