California Games - Sega Megadrive
Review comments
Van you perform a twist-plant aerial kick tail? We seriously doubt it, because we just made that up. Still, you too can confuse your friends by spouting any old rubbish and passing it off as “Californian” with the help of California Games by Epyx.
Have your say about California Games

Being a fan of California Games on the C64, I was itching to play the Megadrive version given the rave Mean Machines review. However, I was very disappointed with the cartridge. Rad alluded to poor sound and he was right in his assessment--compared to the top sound from the C64's SID chip, California Games on the Megadrive is a poor relation. Frisbee event is missing, which in my humble opinion is a bigger disappointment than Jazza believed at the time. Generally the cart lacked the character of the C64; for example, the brilliant play on West Coast advertising and West Coast life in general is lacking in the Megadrive version which also possesses unappealing (plain blank) intro screens. All in all, probably worth a punt at 50p, but at full-price, I'm afraid not.
