Episode X (originally released as the standalone Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare demo in 1994) was added in version 1.3.

The graphics and sound are excellent, and Jazz Jackrabbit is generally regarded as one of the best DOS games ever. He's also a great jumper, so perhaps he's Sonic, Mario, and Duke Nukem rolled into one. Finally, Jazz carries a big gun and finds many different kinds of ammo. There are a lot of items to collect, which requires extensive exploration, something that Sonic wouldn't have time for.

Being a rabbit, Jazz can run fast, and speed is a major component of the game, warranting instant comparison to Sonic the Hedgehog. Jazz Jackrabbit is a combination of several styles of platform game.
