Lunacy was my personal favorite game as well, not so much playing it as designing for it. Drive systems and ball manipulators have been perfected over the years but Lunacy provided a different challenge. When else did you see teams experimenting with propellers, gyroscopes, and weight shifters? When else did you see closed-loop traction control algorithms?

"Surprise! This year's game takes place on the moon." was the GDC's best idea ever. Until the water game , I doubt we'll ever see so much creativity and innovation in one year again.

Aww, come on now. Cheering for/with your alliance is the best part of a regional.
