I get it.. this is predominantly a USA board.. and they almost only experienced NES and Sega.. most never had the pleasure of playing on an C64, Vic-20, Amiga.. they missed out.. and only had those plug and play kids toys from Nintendo and Sega.
I just watched High Score on Netflix, and it seems like the makers completely forgot that Europe is a place on mother Earth.
I'll contest that I enjoyed the Sega Master System version more :P
True, true... if you had to play consoles 50hz, do you even qualify as a continent? /s
American and had a Commodore 64 and Amiga (in addition to the Master System and NES) growing up and... yeesh. bad take.
ohhh ohhh.. 50hz... (I never noticed anthing back then, I had no reference point)
I congratulate you on your good taste (or rather your parents good taste)...
But we all know NES and Sega were machines for people who did not know how to us a keyboard....
Yes, the NES version is my favorite!
The first time I played it was on my friend's Lynx and I spent more time on the meta-game of figuring out how to actually play.
Once I got the hang of it, I became weirdly obsessed with the surfing game!
You must learn to let go and become one with the wave... barrels for days.
they were systems that had japanese developed video games and largely more accurate arcade ports usually handled by their actual developers (which, for the record, arcade games of the 80s trash the consoles and computers alike)...
Passive trauma would be more accurate. Jesus, was this game annoying when I was a kid.
when i figured out surfing, i felt like neo dodging bullets in the matrix
I had this on NES, it was reasonably fun tbh.
Not even the NES version bruh?

it was originally released on C64 and Apple II.. by one of the giants on C64 & Amiga.. EPYX... man the name still gives me goosebumps.
I know, I owned a C64. NES version looks and sounds the best. Probably plays the best too.
here is a fun comparison between C64/Sega genesis (Mega Drive in normal countries) and the Atari 2600

California Games is a major game of my youth. It makes me feel really old there are people here that haven't heard of it considering it was on so many formats.
Fun fact for modern gamers: Mark Cerny programmed the Master System version when he worked at Sega of Japan.
I still think the C64 and SMS versions are the best two. They're the only ones where every event is present and feels right. Every other port has some events missing or with butchered controls.

Pretty much everyone seriously into games in North America remembers the C64... if they're over 40. Millennial-dominated message boards make it look less popular than it was.

I had the mild disadvantage of being born well after either of those machines existed. :P
You can pry my gamer card from my cold, dead hands. ^_^
That's so cool! The thing that I love most about the MS (and early MD/Genesis) is how many of the games were ported in-house by SEGA. i know it was a matter of necessity given licensing and how awful Nintendo were at the time, but still cool nonetheless.
What a wild announcement. Fantastic game, not at all mashy, what is going on in this thread???? Some super wild takes.
Yeah, it's Summer, Winter, and World Games that have some major joystick waggling parts. California Games is the least "mashy" by far.
Looks like we found the one C64 California Games stan in existence as evidenced by this thread holy shit.
Fantastic memories of California Games on NES for me, too.
