Abandonware DOS title

California Games

Radical! Gnarly! And other 80s slang words! California Games is what happens when sports simulations meet neon-colored vibes and a love of spandex. You’ll hacky sack, BMX race, and throw frisbees in pixelated glory. Half the events are baffling, the controls range from “meh” to “WHY?” and the announcer might as well be wearing shades, but somehow it's still a nostalgic, sand-in-your-teeth romp through digital surf culture. Cowabunga, indeed.

California Games review

Zero Magazine Issue 1 (1990): "Not a bad little bunch, altogether. There are plenty of 'nice touches', and while the graphics may not be exactly 'awesome' (these words are all defined in the instructions by the way), the sound manages to encompass plenty of little ditties and the odd sample. As always, it's much better with a friend or two, although once you've mastered each event the game could become a little wearisome. I enjoyed it, though, and it's definitely my fave Games game to date."
