Download the original Jezzball
First published on June 3, 2006
Remember this game? I think I last saw it on Windows 95 (I could be wrong). Now it has all but disappeared. Anyway, try and eliminate space on the playing area without getting hit by the bouncing balls.
For those with Windows XP who are having troubles, it might be because XP has a built-in zip viewer. Try unzipping all of the files to a separate folder before running Jezzball.

Help Please!
I’ve been searching & searching for the original JezzBall (and the original does not have advertisements). I finally gave up, and found this window left on my screen ~ it looks like “it” got found, and i do not know where to look. So, WHERE may i download the original Jezzball (without ads)? Please?
Mahalo Mucho,
jam
P.S. Any idea what the highest score on Jezz is? It’s been years since i played, but i was well over 5 mil for my high. thanks again!

Sharon says:
Hi, I thought my dreams had been answered – like all, I want the original Jezzball in the worst way. It downloaded fine, unzipped fine, but will not work with 64-bit technology unless someone knows a secret.
If it becomes available for 64-bit, please let me know. Thank you.

laura says:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Old school jezzball is so much better than all of these new versions out there. Great for procrastination, too :). There’s something strangely satisfying about boxing those bouncing balls in.
Thank you very much!
And, for all those xp-ers who can’t get the jezzball to work– I just created a new folder and moved all of the files into that folder. Then you can play! It’s as simple as that.

Dana says:
Thank you for making this game available! I was so excited when I found your site. I downloaded, unzipped the files, and started to play JEZZBALL (YAY!), but the movement of the balls was choppy. They’ll move a couple of spaces, freeze, then move a couple of more spaces. I read the notes on your site about Windows XP, thinking maybe there would be something listed, then I remembered that my husband installed Windows Vista! I don’t know if this is something that will be able to be fixed or not. Does anyone else have this problem? or is it just me as usual?

Ericka Eubanks says:
I had spent hours searching on the web to find this original jezzball game. Everyone offered it, but when it came to downloading them all they had to offer was the imposters. I even looked under Classic Jezzball, The Original Jezzball, Old Jezzball, and all the sites had them but with the work “like” attached on the end. I finally found your website and it popped up so easy. I appreciate someone taking the time in putting the actual, Classic, Original, Old Jezzball on their site for others to download. Thankyou so much.

Like the others have said, you are a hero to all that love jezzball. I have tried for at least 5-6 years to find this game again. For a long time I couldnt even remember the name, only the game. I searched roll ball, wallball, track ball, wallyball, trap ball, ball wall, windows 95 games, and many others trying to find it. Thank you, and like someone else also said, this has made my Christmas.

Justin Verted says:
For the record, it’s not Windows Vista that has the problem running the game. As was stated in a comment near the top, those of us running 64-bit systems can’t currently run the game. Some people with Windows Vista are still running on a 32-bit system. Hence why some people say "I have Vista and it works fine." Jezzball runs in 16-bit. The 64-bit versions of Vista are compatible with most anything if you know how to work it, but I’m sure no one thought to include compatibility for 16-bit games. But that being said, even Windows XP 64-bit that came out recently wouldn’t be able to run this program. I’m hoping there’s a fix for this. I’ll keep my eyes peeled.

To get these old games to work, you must have four files (included in older versions of Windows) placed in the same folder as the games:
VBRUN100.DLL
VBRUN300.DLL
WEPUTIL.DLL
WEP4UTIL.DLL

Just thought I’d let you know that this works extremely smoothly under WINE on linux. (Ubuntu 8.10, Vanilla)
That and you’ve become the second link when one searches for jezzball.exe from google.
Thank you for providing the download, I just acquired a Windows 3.1 laptop that had this old gem on it, but no way to transfer it.

Andy, I am in the same boat as your dad– installed my one-true-love, JezzBall, to a new computer with Vista installed. I can’t get JezzBall to run to save my life. What will I do??? I keep JezzBall up and running all day long, slinging balls around anytime I have a spare 15 seconds– usually while waiting for something to download. The habit is deeply ingrained and I want it back!
Please do let us know if you find a solution. I will love you forever.
Thanks!

Thx, it worked – I am under the weather and that is my excuse de our, lol I do not suppose you have Tetris or could tell me whey my original files do not work. I have the box et al. And duplcated them from that ancient 1.5 diskette series (2 maybe?).
Thnk you and THANKS for the game. I once made it past 20 million tho I doubt I can do that now without developing carpel tunnel and I finally m gainfully employed and NEED to use my hands, lol
Btw, the top score I found on Jezzball.com is 274,298,388 – way past what I can ever do, lol (Tho now I will try again, lol)

I’m clicking on the link just about the jezz ball screen at the top of the page, and it acts as though It’s downloading… but i can’t find where it’s downloaded to… i’ve searched the c drive for jezzball.exe and it finds nothing. what am i doing wrong?
Reply from Peter: Right-click the image and choose “Save Target As” or “Save Link As”. Then you can specify exactly where to save it.

can you get this jezzball to work on macs?
Reply from Peter: Sorry, I don’t think there is a Mac version of Jezzball, although you could do some Google searching for Windows emulators for the Mac.

mikey k says:
How to win at Jezzball and lose minimal lives: Don’t know if this is common knowledge but I happened upon it myself. I make my columns vertical by the way typically starting in bottom lower left hand corner. Anyway to make a column without losing a life make sure the mouse arrow is sitting on top of the black grid you wish to align with. Arrow pointed obviously in vertical(up & down)direction. Hit the pause preferably the F3 button to briefly pause game. Necessary to do this for it to work. Line your mouse arrow up with grid with which you wish to start the wallbuilder. Simultaneously unpause game with F3 and hit left mouse click button. Your arrow will start and you will not lose a life. Obviously as long as no other balls are in general vicinity. Will only work with balls coming toward you and not away. To get the skill down especially try in slow mode and not fast mode till your comfortable with it. Don’t believe this has been thrown out their yet. By the way, don’t mistakenly hit F2 since it’s right next door it will make you have to restart your game. Thank you I had to get the above secret off my chest for others to enjoy Jezzball and reach 49 and infinity without losing but minimal lives and racking up mega points to boot. Bye

Kickass! Works perfect on Windows 7 32-bit. Added link to Jezzball in the Games folder and can now run it from a link right inside the games folder. Sometimes though, the balls get kind of laggy, but as soon as you notice it, it goes away.
I spent many hours of my youth wasting homework hours playing this game on DOS 6.2, and then later on Windows 3.1 for Workgroups.
Many thanks for bringing this back. (I kinda laughed at the first comment date, considering its now 4 years later and this is still going strong!)

Hello everyone,
I am really looking forward to playing the ORIGINAL jezzball and not the other poser Jezzball games that are out there for download. I was wondering if anyone had found any solution for Jezzball running on Windows Vista 64-bit computers. I’m really looking forward to playing this game, but I don’t seem to be able to play it on a 64-bit Vista comp. Any help?
Thank you guys!

Thank you for having this game. I played it off and on in 1995 while I was in hospital (bad injuries from accident). Playing it kept my mind occupied between surguries. Misplaced my game disk and thought the game lost forever. Lots of remakes but nothing can replace the original game. Thanks again
June 1st, 2010 at 5:11 pm
Laura says:
I can’t get past "winzip". It says I have to purchase Winzip in order to open Jezzball. (My trial period is over – I don’t even remember using it).
I have windows xp. Is there any alternative to unzipping this?
Reply from Peter: Windows XP is supposed to open zip file natively. You can also do a search for free unzip programs such as this one.

any suggestions??
August 14th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
Jason Radebaugh says:
huntyr, I can give you the starting point but I don’t know how to do it myself. You need to simulate windows xp 32 bit on vista since vista is 64 bit. The game should work if you can do this. Check some online forums, I’m sure the information is there.
to the author of this site, thanks for the awesome game as it was hard to find. It’s a wonder they can’t make anything quite as good as the original.

Yeah, Peter, I’m kinda glad to find it, too. Just as sad as everyone else, I guess x Anyway, the "original" that I knew, probably before everybody else’s time, was played using the up/down/left/right keys. It was slightly different, too, I recall, and much more challenging. Does anybody else remember this version?

How can this game be run on a new Windows 7 with 64 bit. Jezzball uses 32 bit and even unzipping the game will not work. Help. I have the original game on floppy disk and have been playing the game sense 1997. Its great.
November 25th, 2010 at 3:52 am

Hi Peter,
I used to tell my children that I had this marvellous game on a PC I used many years back but I wasn’t able to find it. I had lost all hopes of finding the original Jezzball, and honestly did not even try to find it for past 4-5 years. I think I was destined to find it and that’s why I tried again last sunday after a gap of so many years & found it here. Thanks a lot, you are GREAT.
Best regards,
Rajesh

I wanted to get rid my old pc, but I need it to play jessball and other old games. I wish someone with the know how would rewrite it to play well in Window 7 64, exactly like it does on XP.

My other half just got a new cell phone (an HTC Inspire), and something about playing the game "Teeter" that comes on it, reminded me of when I used to play Jezzball. Of course "Whatever happened to Jezzball?" was our next question, answered relatively easily by you, Peter. Thank you so much. Maybe I’ll even install it on his computer later –after I play a few more times ;>}

Great news for us people with an Android phone, a game called "JezzBall Classic" was released just the other day and it is *exactly* like the original JezzBall!
Now I can play JezzBall any time I want, no more boring bus rides for me! I remember getting the game from this page a few months ago and thought I would share my discovery with you guys.
Here’s a link to the game on the market. Check out those screenshots and tell me that doesn’t look like the real deal.

Count me in as one of the many disappointed: 64-bit sucks. I frequently do a full back up – not just recently created or modified files, so when the computer dies, I can restore stuff – like Jezzball – to my new computer. I haven’t been without this game as long as many of you have, but, by gum, this new 64-bit PC won’t play the old games. I also miss Chip’s Challenge.

Have played Jezzball many many times a day for years and years. This senior citizen has been ‘forced’ to stop using my Windows 2000 computer and go to Windows 7. However, seems I can NOT play Jezzball on my new computer! Is there any way I can overcome this problem? Please know I am really not computer-savvy and this problem is driving me nuts. Have spent innumerable hours trying to get my "old" games to work on Windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.
… and before anyone suggests that I try a clone … been there, done that. I like the OLD, ORIGINAL Jezzball. I’m old, and like old things! Thanks in advance. — Linda

I too, spent a long time looking for this game. However, when I went to download the file, it downloaded just about everything but jezzball. It managed to change several of my personal settings and took over 45 minutes for me to go through and uninstall each file and reset my own. I would not recommend downloading this.

Mike says:
Yes – Jezzball was and is great. Works well in a real virtual environment, not that well in MS’s XPMode.
Just a little trivia for you all, when you are down to your last life, and you are not ready to end the game, the cheat to finish the level you’re at is: shift + control + F12! You will not get any bonus points for that round, but you will be advanced to the next level, safely!
Enjoy – and remember .. shift + control + F12 enjoy.

DJ says:
hahahahaha……. ok, probably no one will believe this. At the start of this thread someone asked "Jezzball is amazing. What are the origins of its name?"
I do not know for sure, but about 20 years ago I was visiting my relatives, and on their computer they had this game in DOS version….. I forget the name. My daughter was just getting into computers, so I went into DOS and renamed the game "Jezball" to catch her interest. Why? My name is Jez. It was those days when games were liberally "shared", so I’m guessing my relatives continued that practice of "sharing" as I never changed the name back. I never looked at the game again on their computer, but……….
About 10 years later, I found it on a random internet search for Jez. Now, I’m not sure if I really had anything to do with it, and I really can’t remember if I added the extra "z" at the time, but I do remember renaming it for my daughter. You may not believe it, but how else would this game come up with that name.

For those with 64bit Windows…. I installed Oracle’s Virtualbox to run older software like Jezzball. It is free and it works. Under Virtualbox I run Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 32bit. There are other similar sofwares like Virtualbox but I haven’t bothered to try those.

I played this game years ago, and loved it. I have windows 10, and no-matter what I click on, it will not download. Other things come up to be downloaded. I DON’T WANT anything else. Just the original jezz-ball.
I am getting very angry and frustrated. Help me please.
Josephine.

For those wanting to run this on a 64-bit version of Windows, you need to run DOSBox, and install a licensed Windows 3.1. There is a link somewhere, that has a downlload of this game, using a pre-configured DOSBox setup. You just run the game inside a window.

Hello Peter!
I don’t know if you’re still monitoring the responses here, but if you’re a fan of old games I thought I would offer up my copies of Dangerous Dave or Lemmings! Email me if you’d like them and feel free to post them on your website. I’m still figuring out DOSBox to try and play them though; it’s been too long!
Reply from Peter: I’d be happy to post them if they’re not available elsewhere. However, are these the same games here? Dangerous Dave and Lemmings

I cannot download JezzBall. I played it yesterday but today I can’t get it. I really like this game.

To run this on Windows 7, install Windows XP Mode / Virtual PC, and it runs in XP, same as my Civilization 2

It’s complicated, but https://github.com/otya128/winevdm is the solution to running 16-bit Windows games like these on Windows 10 64-bit. Works great once set up
