For me, it was the game Rocket Jockey released by Sega Soft in '96. It was perfect. The game featured a surf rock soundtrack by Dick Dale. The entire premise of the game was to ride around on rockets and using long cables to yank your opponents off theirs. Referees were also fair play. I don’t think I’ve met anyone else who has played the game, so if you have, let me know!

    Me and my sister were crazy about Zoo Tycoon, but we weren’t super good at it. We would run the zoo into the ground and then release the T. Rex.

      Releasing the T. rex and plopping guests into the shark tank and removing the ladder were important parts of a successful zoo. I wish the Zoo Tycoon series kept the same level of freedom the original has, the new one was depressing to play.

        I didnt know there was a new one. We played the 1st and 2nd ones.

        I feel like anything new would lack the magic from back then.
