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!

  1. Mental Omega, a total conversion mod for Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge.

  2. Age of Empires 2.

For me personally, that has to be Broken Sword 1 and 2. There’s always been something about those games that keep me coming back on yearly basis - there’s few games that can do that for me.

FX Fighter, Enemy Engaged: RAH-66 Comanche vs. KA-52 Hokum, Sim City 3000, Descent, and Carnivores 2. Just love the janky 3D, complicated keyboard bindings, goofy UIs, and crunchy textures.

Digger.

I found a Win version the other day... and it still kicks my ass - just like it did when I was thirteen.

Lords of the Realm 2 - I still come back to it regularly. Holds up pretty well (though battles were kinda easy to cheese).

So there's this old DOS game called 'Archipelagos'. You just wandered around this weird checkered liminal space looking for obelisks. I dont remember much more than that but it was just such a weird and different game and I loved it.
