I'm still waiting to cast my vote.
1999, first year of alliances.
Game piece: "Floppy". Torus of slick fabric, stuffed with foam peanuts, with velcro around the outside and in the middle of the "donut hole". Worth points if a certain height, more points if over 8' high.
Field object: "Puck". Octagonal platform on casters. Move into a particular area for a bonus; be on it for a multiplier (or the other way around).

1998, cause of alliances.
1v1v1.
Game piece: large exercise ball. Worth points if on a "leg" of the field structure, amount varied depending on placement. Placing in the center column, multiplier 2^x, x depending on how many of yours are in.

That's as old as I really go... I've heard about or read the rules for some of the older ones, but beyond 1998, I'm not really up to going in depth.
