Rocket Jockey
Pleaaaaaasse! Rocket Jockey is one of a kind it's so FUN!!!!!!
Dragging the poor dude by a string and splash em on the wall lol
This is now available and DRM-free on ZoomPlatform and Steam; I wouldn't expect it to come to GOG, just FYI.
The game can be played with music on modern systems, it simply requires you to have a disc or a cue file to the image (it's a file that tells the computer where the music is) there's even a way to pay it on 1080p.
Good news everyone! A remake of the original is in the works (and already quite playable): awesometongames.itch.io/rocket-jockeys-the-remake/devlog/275028/dont-fear-build-104-is-here?fbclid=IwAR0wlWMKYYdLK3G9Q8IPqViP33D7Jmr7woM2k4lt-UZfmYGZ53bxHHj70TQ .
This is #1 on my wish list.
BTW, there *is* a version out there that boasts a Windows XP compatibility patch. Running it in XP SP3 Compatibility mode, and it runs flawlessly on Windows 10!
Like some other games from that era it's tricky to get the music to work on modern systems, it could use a GOG version.
gog please !!
That remake that was being talked about, by Burn Ward Games, appears to be dead. Nothing has been said by them for over 2 years. I reached out to them and never got a response.

I'll just drop this here... #I_MADE_DIS
Chiming in to support one of my best early gaming memories. Still have the disc but cannot run it on my current PC :( Halp me GOG, you're my only hope!
I'd love to have it, so much great time playing it with my bro.
Please!!!!
surprised elon hasn't brought this back to the public yet!
i would love to have rocket jockey i have endless memories of playing this gem with my cousins and we would have fierce battles over rocket ball or soccer and rocket war those were the days so please GOG please make this happen when you can
I still have my original disc. Doesn't load on Windows 10. Please, GOG, help us out here. The game play, the soundtrack, the hilarity. I need it back in my life.
You just got to see this: www.burnwardgames.com/home , hope it's really finally happening!
Plz, plz, plz.
burnwardgames is working on a new Rocket Jockey!!!! I'm sure it'll be on-sale here however it looks like a two man shop w/ last update was 2 months ago at the time of this posting. Not to worry, looking at the video on their website it looks to be two talented designers. 100% will buy
I just can't believe why it isn't there yet. I mean, it's Rocket Jockey! No need to argue, just bring it already!
Yes, please! I still have my hard copy, but I'd love a digital download of this great classic game. Fantastic soundtrack, and it's an absolute riot to play.
I was just thinking about this game and googled it and found this forum. I want this game so bad on Win 10! I played this game as a demo back in 97' and I still feel it's one of the best games ever! I never played the full version and I wish I did. Hopefully someday, someone re issues this game.
I this was my first "PC game". Please get this on GOG with Win 10 compatibility. I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
Please add rocket jockey!! <3
Hidden gem, do still have the original PC CD here. Just hope moderators would check it out, wouldn't count on it to be voted up. It's one of those games, you've never played, but when you do the gameplay will blow you away; sometimes quite literary. Would be so great if somehow online multiplayer could be added, though I don't know if GOG does that kinda thing.
I remember being kind of blown away by the demo gameplay . I would buy this.
Yeah!! Bring Rocket Jockey back! Best game eveeeeeeer!!
how has this not been done yet??? :(
stillll waitinnnnnng...!
PLEASE GOG make it happen!
2016 needs a new rocket jockey!
I know the copyright issues are ridiculously complicated, but GOG, oh GOG, PLEASE make this happen. I played it first when I worked for PC Gamer. We'd have awesome multiplayer matches in which Todd Vaughn would kick my ass. Help me bring back those memories, GOG.
I loved this game as a kid, make it happen GOG!
This is the kind of game that GOG was meant for -- old, a bit obscure, and difficult to play these days. Oh, and it's totally freakin awesome. Rocket Jockey checks all the boxes.
The IP has to be dirt cheap too. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
I bought a copy of this in '97 after playing with the demo for a few days. One of THE most underrated games of it's era. I would sell, not only my soul, but all my future progeny as well to have an updated version of this game. My life is incomplete without it.
Absolutely mind-blowing for its time, still holds up today. Segasoft's opus.

Here's an installer that helps you install the Rocket Jockey on newer systems. Seems to work up to Windows 7. I haven't tested Windows 8 or later. Note this is NOT a no CD crack, it simply helps install the game properly on newer systems. You still need a disc or image to play. Also, if you have multiple optical drives, it seems the music only works if the disc is in the optical drive that comes first in the alphabet.
awesome game!
I'd give my left.....canine tooth to play this again.
Oh, please please please release this on GOG!!!! Such a classic!
This is absolutely one of my favorite games, along with Crusader: No Remorse.
I was so disappointed when we upgraded PC's and discovered that I wouldn't be able to play them anymore.
Many years later I was able to install Crusader and played it once again (and was pleased to see it on sale here), but no work-arounds helped me install RJ.
"The problem is the rights are in limbo with Rocket Science Games. Nobody can obtain the rights because no legal entity exists to license them." Ack! Sounds like the rights may be out of reach! T_T
If it's true that the Dev has a fully working updated version I'd love to play it!!! ^_^
Let me add my +1. This game absolutely needs to be on GOG. Especially reading that the original developer has a fully working updated Direct3D version that he is unable to do anything with, because he doesn't own the rights.
Doesn't Sega want to go back into the PC market? GOG, please find out who holds the copyright and release this masterpiece.
I cannot get my version to run, GOG can make this happen for us!
Best multiplayer game ever!
This is a really unique and fun game. I hope it will make it to GOG so that more people can experience it.
wish more people knew about this game, i only got to play the demo of it, but i still spent hours on it, doing the same levels over and over. i still have the demo disk too. *hint, hint* GOG, i want to play the full version.
This remains one of the greatest games I've ever played - Rocket Jockey (for me) is up there with Half Life as being unbelievably innovative and fun (granted they're in no way similar, but RJ is a must play).
The article Nipsen posted is incredibly sad... SOMEONE has to be able to buy the rights. This game has to make a comeback.
Being able to yank someone off a rocket with a grappling hook and string them up, or swinging a soccer ball around into a goal, all while listening to a Dick Dale soundtrack, remains one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.
must absolutely humiliate my gaming buddy by playing this multiplayer!!
Absolutely want this on here!
I have not played a game like Rocket Jockey before or since. This thing is a masterpiece and desperately needs more recognition. It's just a joy and it fills me with such sadness that it never garnered fame and fortune for its masterful efforts.
