Epic Games, the company behind the now-legendary Gears of War franchise, was not always so well known. In fact, they really kind of got their start by copying other popular titles and saturating the PC shareware markets until they gleaned enough notoriety and revenue to create new and fresh IPs. One of the lesser-known early titles by the folks at Epic is Jazz Jackrabbit. Now, if you have played this game then you know it bears a striking resemblance to a game with another humanoid critter blasting his way to the goal. That game is Earthworm Jim. Epic may be an all-original IP studio now, but they weren’t always so pure. Give this one a go and find out for yourself.
