Branching from their popular ''Summer Games'' and ''Winter Games'' series, this game consisted of some sports purportedly popular in California including skateboarding, freestyle footbag, surfing, roller skating, flying disc (frisbee) and BMX. The game sold very well, topping game selling charts for winter months. It also got very positive reaction from reviewers, many of whom consider ''California Games'' to be the last classic Epyx sports game, due to staff changes not long after its release. The game was followed in by ''California Games II'', but the sequel failed to match the original's success. ==Development== Several members of the development team moved on to other projects. Chuck Sommerville, the designer of the half-pipe game in ''California Games'' later developed the game ''Chip's Challenge'', while Ken Nicholson the designer of the footbag game was the inventor of the technology used in Microsoft's DirectX. Kevin Norman, the designer of the BMX game went on to found the educational science software company Norman & Globus, makers of the ''ElectroWiz'' series of products. The sound design for the original version of ''California Games'' was done by Chris Grigg, member of the band Negativland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
