California Games (C64, 1 - 5 players, 500 Wii Points)
We say: Check it out!
We say: Check it out!
This week's release is an old favorite: California Games. Featuring an eclectic mix of sports to play (are these games all Californians know and love?), it's a game that many likely remember fondly. Well, in playing it for the first time in, oh, over 10 years, we still found it to be quite fun. Save for the roller skating game. That one is the worst.
Every week, we like to check out what's new on the Virtual Console. We offer these videos as a sort of taste to help you decide whether or not you would want the game in question. We also toss in our own two cents because we're pushy jerks.

I couldn't agree more. The control take time to get used to it. You pretty much NEED to read the 'instruction booklet" to get it. It's simple fun.

Oh wow, that's insane. California Games was ported to a bunch of the consoles, wasn't it? I don't remember the C64 version, heh. The soundtrack is INSANE and the gameplay is freaking ridiculous [in that delightfully frustrating way]. Man the surfing nonsense...
