#12Hell yeah! Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was amazing and I always thought it was sad it became abandonware.
Does it count as abandonware if you can buy it on GOG today?

Maybe it was abandoned for a time until GOG picked it up.

#15I wish Jazz had been more popular. I loved Jazz Jackrabbit 1 and 2, and I believe there were plans to make a third, but they decided it wouldn’t sell enough copies. If anyone here can recommend platformers similar to Jazz that run on a Mac, I’d love to play them. I never got into shooters or 3D games, but always enjoyed platformers like Mario and Contra, and Jazz felt perfect for me.

Apache is what's serving the error page. It's whatever is behind Apache that is failing
I've had an Apache server running on a decade old laptop on the HN front page, serving a custom PHP+Mariadb blog without caching, works just fine. It's big projects like WordPress that reliably go down from more than a handful of visitors per minute with bursts to a few in one second, if you don't have a caching layer that turns it into the equivalent of a static page generator

Responds very fast for me! With an error page. I guess something else fell over and Apache is the component that's holding up here ;)

I thought it was popular. Nearly all my childhood friends played it.

a good chunk of the third exists and is playable
it's not very good though (except the music, Alexander Brandon is still amazing)
