content: Building on the success of its Summer Games release, Epyx published several other video games on the theme of sports contests. California Games featured virtual contests it called half pipe skateboard, foot bag, surging, skating, BMX bike racing, and flying disk, Published somewhat later in the 1980s, it was designed for use not only with Apple II and Commodore 64 microcomputers, but with the IBM PC and compatibles. This 5 1/4" diskette is specifically for the Apple IIc, IIe, IIGS and compatibles. The accompanying brochure is for a wider range of microcomputers. The program was not an outstanding success - by 1989, the company filed for bankruptcy.
