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!

I loved Lemmings but man, oh man did I send a lot of those poor things to their death by mistake.

Only by accident? :-) I recall setting up the lemmings in a pattern that would produce pretty confetti/fireworks from the nuke button was half the fun of the game. Or at least it was after I got very frustrated with a particular level!

There may have been some crimes against humanity rained down on those poor creatures, haha.
