There was an another easter egg (or something like that): if you comleted the BMX level, then at the end the biker fall down from a platform and a volture lands on the side of the platform. Probabaly not a true easter egg, but very funny.
1991 in here, 1990 on the Epyx article. One of them have to go. Gelbard 07:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
One of the statements under Trivia reads: "There is a shark in Surfing who laughs." Are you sure that it's laughing? It seems more to me like when you fall off the surfboard, you go under the water and the shark appears, with Jaws-like music, because it's creepy in the ocean with the possibility of getting eaten by a shark. I can see why you think it's laughing, though. Its mouth moves while that sound is happening. Anybody have a reference we can cite for whether or not it's laughing? Another thing to keep in mind is there is so many different ports of this game, that it might seem like laughing to you in your version, but simply the Jaws sound in mine. If we can't find a verifiable source, maybe mention in the statement which system or console your idea came from....For example, "In the Arcade version of CG, there is a shark in the surfing mode that laughs." 71.199.25.62 20:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Whoops! I meant under the "Easter Eggs" Section, not the Trivia section. Sorry! 71.199.25.62 20:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I've never played this game, so I don't have enough knowledge to do this myself, but it seems to me that a list of games that you could play in this game would be helpful. As it is now, I don't know what "California Games" I would've played, if I played this game. 71.109.219.135 22:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
I just removed the following external link:
Reason: the linked article can hardly be called a review. To verify this, those who know the game need to read no more than what it says about BMX controls. Granted, these are a bit tough to master, but once you get it, you have almost infinite freedom in what you do, like serial jumps and fast loops, You can actually go through the whole course hardly ever touching the ground, once you got to know the track and obstacle positions well enough. The would-be reviewer is attributing his lack of skill and patience to the game, which proves but one thing: That he is not a good reviewer.-- 217.232.198.138 21:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
To my knowledge, this games was originally developped for the C64. It is not a port.-- 217.232.198.138 22:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I think it is good practice for Wikipedia not to treat unreleased games like they were released already. I will wait a few days to see if there will be comments. Otherwise, I will delete the two references. They can (and should) be restored when they are released. -- 217.232.217.38 15:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I have never see that cover before. Usually the game used something similar to this:
I have a poster from the game somewhere that uses the same style of real people as above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.196.153.73 ( talk) 00:41, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
The "Son of Stan" episode is referenced because there are BMX tricks performed that are reminiscent of those in the games, but the 'reference' in American Dad is to the BMX 80's movie "Rad". They have the same type of masks, same single primary color scheme, and (significantly) the same music as was playing in the movie. As such, I don't think that it was really a reference to California Games. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.144.244 ( talk) 13:27, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
