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 really loved Tie Fighter from 1994. The music was pretty cool because it changed based on the state of the mission you were on and star wars music was a cheat code to my feelings.

I also thought it was so cool when you'd complete secret objectives and they'd bring you in to the emperor's secret order and tattoo your arm. I thought that was just fucking great. Those cut scenes were so cool.

Also thanks to all of you who posted cool older games im going to try some of these. I'm thinking about trying fallout I've never played any in that series.

Lucas arts was so strong at that time. I loved dark forces(?) the FPS

Honestly Lucasarts of the early-90’s to mid 2000’s had such a high batting average.

Tie Fighter really captured the feel of the original trilogy that only a few games have actually done, Dark Forces and Jedi Knight both did the same.

Wait, you forgot to mention that he tattoes your arm with FORCE LIGHTNING.
