California Games 1-1/2 of 5 stars

Whoa I'm glad I only paid 50 cents for this one. I had this game or something close to it for the Commodore years ago and I liked it. Why cant they just port good games straight over? Oh well.

There's a hacky sack game, a surfing game, a bmx game, a roller skating game and a skate boarding game on the cart. Sounds neat right? Wrong! its not, save your cash cause it sucks. The control is awful even though the graphics are okay.

I darn near pitched this one out the window, the only thing that saved this game was the skate boarding part. Me and a buddy of mine got caught up in a trick battle that was kind of fun. It took a while to get the hang of the controls but eventually we figured it out. The only tips I can give you on this other than save your money:) is try using a NES joystick rather than a regular joy pad and remember to push up and down to gain speed for tricks in stead of left to right like I did for the first five practice rounds:)
