A cowboy lassoing stuff while riding a rocket.  This is how Active spits on two common Texan images.

26) Rocket Jockey

Here we have a game about a rocket-riding, lasso-swinging, presumably pint-sized cowboy gliding rightward as he ruins the day of the various farm dwellers scrolling in the opposite direction. Idea of great awesome and originality, one that will ensure hours, or at least minutes of fun, no? Well, if the party responsible for interpreting this vision into video game form is Active Enterprises, then you'll be creative enough to find a way to make this get old after about ten seconds. Aside from its setting, there is absolutely nothing fun or even interesting about Rocket Jockey. It doesn't even have any of those hilarious bugs that sometimes come with Action 52 titles, only the irritating ones that sometimes come with Action 52 titles. Oh, and it plays exactly like you'd envision a side-scrolling Action 52 shooter, in case you're wondering.
