===Vertical=== The first games to feature vertical rocket jumping were [[Bungie]]'s ''[[Marathon (computer game)|Marathon]]'' and [[3D Realms]]' ''[[Rise of the Triad]]'', which were both released on the same day. It was featured the same year on [[The Outfoxies]]. Rocket jumping became very popular in the original ''[[Quake (video game)|Quake]]'' (1996), and was used as an advanced technique for deathmatch play<ref>{{cite web | title = Thresh's Quake Bible | url = http://www.quaketerminus.com/quakebible/adv-rjump.htm| author = Dennis Fong}}</ref> as well as for the [[Quake done Quick]] series. In the game ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' (2007), the Soldier class can use his rockets to rocket jump. This is an intentional feature with several mechanics associated with it. The game features numerous unlockable weapons with attributes that only affect rocket jumping or only apply while rocket jumping. The Demoman class can achieve a similar effect using his own assortment of explosive weapons, such as the "Stickybomb Launcher", or by crouching and jumping with his "Ullapool Caber" melee weapon. It is also possible to use knockback provided by enemy explosives to perform a similarly boosted jump as any class.<ref>{{cite web | title = Jumping - Official TF2 Wiki | url = https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Jumping}}</ref> In ''[[Minecraft]]'' (2011), the player can activate TNT in order to propel themselves. While it is usually fatal when attempted, equipping armour can allow players to survive the blast damage, enabling it to be used as a form of transportation. It can also be attempted with [[Creeper (Minecraft)|creepers]], in-game entities that explode upon close contact. In ''[[Overwatch (video game)|Overwatch]]'' (2016), multiple characters have explosive projectiles that can be used to rocket jump.
