Description

California Games was the original "Extreme Games" -- what today's generation might call "X-Games in the sun". Compete in events such as skateboarding, footbag, surfing, roller skating, flying disc (frisbee) and BMX. Some events are ranked by judges (Surfing), which gives you a score to help you improve your routine.

The Lynx version of the game omits the flying disc and roller skating events, but adds a 2-player gaming mode via comlynx.
