The sequel nobody asked for, but we’re still kinda glad happened. California Games 2 adds even weirder sports: jet-skiing, hang gliding, and bodyboarding, which is like surfing but with less dignity. The graphics are improved, the controls are still sketchy, and the game has the same sun-bleached charm. It's like an 80s postcard that came to life and forgot to bring sunscreen. Bonus points if you survive all the events without rage-throwing your keyboard.
Compute! (1991): “California Games II, the sequel to Epyx’s multi-sport favorite, offers five new events—including hang-gliding, jet surfing, snowboarding, bodyboarding, and skateboarding—in vibrant VGA graphics. While some events feel repetitious and the challenge uneven across disciplines, the game retains a beachside charm enhanced by playful humor and cartoonish accident animations, making it a fun multiplayer diversion.”
