Official description

Now the Summer will surely last forever!

The smell of the surf, the sun on your back, the sand between your toes...This isn't California Dreamin' — this is for real! Six of the best West Coast sports designed to set your pulse racing! Wow your friends with your incredible flying skate-board feats; or show your cool hacking at the sack.

Skate down the boardwalk, flip the Frisbee® and wheelie the BMX. And then the ultimate test — the King of Californian sports — shooting the curl as you battle with those giant Pacific rollers to decide which surfer truly rules the waves!

You'll be playing for big name sponsors like Pacer Skateboards, Ocean Pacific®, RAD Mag, Frisbee®, Hacky Sack®, Morey Boogie®, Burton®, Snowboards and Bluebird®.

California Games TM features superb graphics, all the atmosphere of the West Coast, and one to eight players can take part. All the quality you expect from a Epyx product is here and so much more.

So get air. Go crazy. Welcome to a new state of intensity.### * Get ready to surf, skateboard on the half pipe, bike BMX-style, kick-back with a foot bag, rollerskate and fling the flying disc. * Compete on California's beaches, parks, and its rough and tumbly desert turf. * Win enough trophies to become a California Champion. * One to four players.
