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!
Theme Hospital I still go back to on occasion. I’ve seen Two Point but it’s not the same.
Have you tried corsix th? It lets you play the original theme hospital on modern systems.
