''Rocket Jockey'' is a PC game created by Rocket Science Games and published by SegaSoft in 1996. Originally developed for the Sony PlayStation, Rocket Jockey became a PC title because "hardware limitations and longer lead times forced the switch to PC as the initial platform." The game benefited from unique game concept, developed by Game Designer/Lead Programmer Sean Callahan, paired with an inventive alternative reality 1930s America setting, conceived by VP of Development/Creative Director Bill Davis. In Rocket Jockey, the player jets at high speed inside a grassy enclosed sports arena on a rocket sled that is ''always'' in motion and chiefly steered with two grappling hook guns mounted on its flanks. The rocket can change speeds but always flies about three feet off the ground unless it is engaged in one of the games' frequent and often comic collisions. The soundtrack is also unique in that live performers are used, most notably legendary surf rock guitar player Dick Dale. Three different Rollerball-style game modes are available for competition. Initially receiving high marks from reviewers and much hype from SegaSoft, its steep hardware requirements (at the time) and a much-delayed patch which added LAN play hurt game sales and later reviews. As time passed it has suffered a classic example of software rot and compatibility issues have appeared, making it very difficult to install the game on modern systems. Some diehards have created workarounds for this, most notably a custom modified registry key. == Game basics == When starting a game, the player must go through three menus: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rocket Jockey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
