Frankly, I felt it was a very mediocre, even shitty, already back in the day. Or at least the first Jill, I don't think I have played the sequels. It just felt quite amateurish, and kind of a prime example for people to claim platform jumping games are much better on 16-bit consoles and Amiga, than on PC.

It was not like Jazz the Jackrabbit or the later Commander Keen games which IMHO were genuinely good and interesting platform jumping games (Jazz more for its technical prowess, and Keen games for just being fun to play).

Either way, I still think it is a fantastic move from GOG to release them as freebies on GOG. When I saw the thread, I was first like "Hmmm, how much would I be willing to pay for them...", but now I don't have to wonder. :) Free is free. So yeah, thanks GOG and Epic.

What an unexpected blast from the past. Thanks a lot :)

I've been wondering the same thing. Would be an instabuy for me.


And thanks for the freebies!

What? How? Not only released on GOG, but all three games, and for free on top of it?! Very cool, thanks to everyone who made this possible! :)

Thank you so much! :)

Wow! What a nostalgia trip! Can't believe they're just giving this away! Thanks!

This was an insta-grab for me. A friend let me know soon as I got online. I remember playing this and Mystic Tower.. those were among my first computer games.

Many fond memories of Jill and the other Epic shareware classics. Fun platformer that is forgiving of my speed and coordination. I would gladly have paid a little for Jill's adventures, as I did for Jazz Jackrabbit. More in the pipeline please :)

I remember having a shareware version back in the day! Thanks for making this game available, for free no less!

Thank you, GOG! :)

Come over and speedrun the game :) find the game on speedrun.

They are very amateurish but the design somehow works. As platform games there were many things way prettier and with better animations in 1992 or earlier (and I consider the Apogee "Secret Agent" way more polished) and the music in Adlib was not as groundbreaking as the video reviewer claims it to be (Stephane Picq released his best work in 1992 and Infogrames was already doing marvels with the sound card) but it is a nice game and it was an important milestone in shareware.

Thank you GOG. I never heard of them before but I just downloaded and played them a bit. Real oldschool fun :)
But why does it still say "This is Shareware"? I guess these are the full versions?

Thanks for the release and Linux wrapping too :) But you didn't mention it's using Dosbox in system requirements. You mention it for Wine based games, so why not Dosbox ones? Just would be nice to have that listed.

And I had no idea this game was designed and developed by Tim Sweeney from Epic.
