Yes it really would be great to see this game on the N900, too.

While the original game is not open-source, Alister Thomson has made a game engine recreation for Jazz.
I got the Jazz Jackrabbit shareware files from Haze's Hideout, put them into /media/mmc1/openjazz and renamed them to lower case (there is an UPPERCASE_FILENAMES compile time option, but it is disabled here).
The game starts from the menu or from the terminal with "/usr/games/openjazz /media/mmc1/openjazz".

Heh, I compiled a version without music before noticing pH5s message. It expects to find data files from either memory card under share/openjazz, has menu icon etc. I compiled it in Sheevaplug, but it seems to run fine on tablet. openjazz_svn-r3_armel.deb

DOSbox should run perfectly fine, as it does already on the OpenPandora console (same hardware as the N900). on www.openpandora.org you can see a video where they run DarkForces in Dosbox and it flies.

Do I need to rename all the game files in lowercase as mentioned above?

Jazz Jackrabbit is a fast-paced, colorful side-scrolling shooter from Epic MegaGames in 1994. It was made for MS-DOS and had 9 episodes each with 3 planet themes across 7 levels. Being a floppy disk game I'm sure you can imagine how modest the system requirments are.
While the original game is not open-source, Alister Thomson has made a game engine recreation for Jazz. It already has ports on many similar systems like the PSP, GP2X and GP32, so I assume a Maemo port is realistic. It does require the original or shareware game files. It would be awesome to have this game.
