Game Review (written by Jenniferp327) Added on: 07/30/2007
California Games is a very fun game. I first played California Games on my nes. There are a lot of different games with in California Games like frisbee throw, bmx, half pipe, surfing, skateboarding, hackie sack, ect. It can be a single player game or a multi player game and you can play against friends and family. I think that it would be cool if you could play against a computer player or players I think that that would make California Games a much better game.

I also think that some of the games are hard to play and I never understood how to get a high score. Like on surfing, I get ate by the shark

every time and I can't get a score of an 8. Then there is skating I was never able to get to the end with it, it gets really hard and it gets really hard to dodge all of the cracks and obstacles in the road.
I like the half pipe game where you get to skateboard up and down a half pip doing turns and what not. Frisbee throw is another hard game on California Games. You have to time the throw just perfect and then you control another little man who runs around trying to catch it, but if you dive fore the frisbee too early then you can't get back up and you lose. If you catch it then you get more points, but I was never able to get the high score on this game with in California Games either and it really frustrated me.
The hackie sack game was kind of neat it is actually called foot bag. I don't know why it is called foot bag though. But you hop around trying to hit the ball off your head or kick the ball with your feet. If you hit the ball off your head and you hit a bird flying in the air then you get extra points. You also get extra points for not dropping the ball to the ground.
After you finish all the little games on California Games that you selected then you get a trophy at the end. If you are playing multi player then this will be the time that you find out who came in first and who came in second played or third place, because you can play against a lot of different people. But if you played alone then you automatically get first place and this kind of ruins the drama at the end of the game when you are anticipating who won the game and who lost the game. Overall this was a very fun game and I recommend it to people of all ages to play.

A compilation of mini-games that's not quite as good as the old Olympic games, but the surfing and hacky-sack are fun.

You can play this game in all kinds of resolutions, CGA, EGA, Hercules, VGa, etc. The game has lots of options, you can skate, snowboard, and a lot more. I don't think there is sound in it. The graphics are bad. I don't like the game, but maybe you do!
