If you really want to play California Games and have fun, I suggest you go out and get the Atari Lynx version! This game just doesn't translate well on the big machines. It reminds me of the vain attempt to put Boxxle on the Genesis when it belonged on the Gameboy.
It is only average here. Even though summer is past, you can still play your favorite summer type of games will California Games for the Genesis. Originally out for computer owners, it was then translated for the Lynx. Now, all five events are back; BMX racing, footbag, surfing, skating, and the halfpipe. Don't let the Winter blahs get you down, try California Games for your Genesis. California Games allows up to eight players to compete in six gnarly events in an effort to be crowned the "baddest" around.
Gamers must surf, bike, skate, toss and kick their way through six events in an attempt to claim this prestigious title. The secret to good skateboarding is maintaining control at all times. If the board is going too fast, stop the up-and-down motion and slow the skater down until it feels comfortable again. Although there are three stunts players may perform, the hand plant is the one to concentrate on. The plant not only slows the skater down a bit, it can also be performed twice in a row at both ends of the pipe for a real score booster.
As a matter of fact, scores of well over 12, points can be obtained simply by performing hand plants. To get the most out of the plant, remember to push the button just as the skater hits the top of the pipe. Releasing is another story. Do not wait until the board hits the pipe as the instructions suggest - this will always result in a flop.
Instead, try to release just after the board passes over the skater's head in midair. With practice, scores of over points can be achieved with a single plant. This is not to say that the other two stunts are useless. However, since the kick turns require a slow pace and are only worth upward of points, they can be avoided.
As for aerial turns, if the skater's speed is way up there, go for it, dude! The foot bag is a much more laid-back event, where variety is definitely the key. Practice the moves described in the book until they become familiar. Once competition begins, make a strong effort to perform each move one at a time until every move is complete. Although it seems strange to perform the lesser valued moves instead of the harder ones, variety is what earns the big points with these judges.
While performing the Doda can get the bagger 5, points, turning in a variety of six or more moves awards the player a variety bonus of over 36, points! Once all the moves have been completed, tack on additional points by performing the harder moves like the Doda or the double arch. The trick to surfing is to keep the surfer in the top half of the wave, close to the "tube", as much as possible.
Low scores are earned by staying toward the bottom, no matter what stunts are performed. The judges are big fans of turns - high points are obtained by turning up toward the top of the wave and then turning back just as the tip of the board hits the crest. This is called "catching air". Be careful not to wait too long before the cut back, or the surfer will wipe out.
The other highly valued stunts are the and the A degree turn can be done in the top half of the wave much the same way as catching air. The requires a bit more wave to complete successfully and should only be attempted if the surfer is below the halfway point of the wave. Another valuable stunt is to ride the board over the top of the wave and turn degrees in the air to come back down on it.
The trick here is to make sure the board is exactly degrees from the position it was when it left the wave. Landing at any other angle will result in a totally radical wipeout! Skating is a game of steady rhythm. Start by building a steady pace of up-and-down movement to get the skater to move evenly across the walkway.
Holding the stick in one direction too long will cause the skater to wander in that direction. Compensate by holding the stick in the other direction a bit longer on the next stroke.
While skating in this manner, simply press the button right before the skater reaches an obstacle to jump over it. Sounds simple, yet keeping an even rhythm can be tricky for the novice player. Once the player is secure in skating, he or she can rack up the big points by doing s.
The best way to accomplish one is to press the button as the skater approaches an obstacle and rotate the stick all the way around instead of the usual up-and-down rotation.
If done correctly, the skater will jump and do a in the air, earning big points. Here is a sport which requires precise timing and more than a touch of patience. Start by taking it slow. Get a feel for the track, and learn where the biggest hills are located. These are the only places where the four "in-the-air" stunts should be attempted.
It is not possible to complete these four stunts at any other point, and attempts to do so will result in a serious wipeout that promptly ends the competition. Once the biker reaches the top of a large ramp, timing comes into play.
The player must hit the button just as the front wheel hits the edge of the ramp. If that's not hard enough, he or she must then do the desired stunt immediately after the button is pressed.
Even a one-second delay will not give the biker enough hang time to complete the stunt. Remember also that the tabletop stunt requires the player to press the stick up and release it before the biker touches down, or he will wipe out. The rest of the track is pretty straightforward. Players get points for jumping over or avoiding obstacles. Footbag Juggling a hackysack with feet, head, and body, players must keep the bag from touching the ground while doing fancy moves to earn more points.
Roller Skating Players skate along a path running parallel to the beach, doing tricks and spins while avoiding obstacles on the sidewalk. Tweet Clean. Cancel Update. What size image should we insert?
