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!

Fallout. Astonishing bit of work. I wish there were more isometric RPGs of that style.

Loved the older fallout series but wow that gameplay was unforgiving. I remember dying constantly, though I was probably just bad.

Yeah, the unfortunate downside to the Fallout games is that it gives you a wide variety of potential character builds, but unless you're somewhat proficient in combat, your odds of survival are slim. Which, I suppose, would be accurate to a real-life post-apocalypse scenario
