Play California Games Ii (dos) Online

California Games II is a sports video game released in 1990 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed and published by Epyx, Inc., it belongs to a genre encompassing olympiad-style events, skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing. The game presents a collection of five distinct athletic events for the player to experience.

Players participate in five sequential events: hang gliding, jet skiing, body boarding, snowboarding, and skateboarding. Each event features unique objectives and control schemes. In hang gliding, the player maneuvers a glider to drop water balloons into specific tubes while staying airborne. The jet skiing segment involves navigating a course as quickly as possible, following buoy markers and hitting checkpoints and ramps to reduce time. For body boarding, the player controls a character riding a large wave, performing tricks to earn points while avoiding falling off. The snowboarding event tasks the player with descending a slope, avoiding obstacles, and successfully hitting a ramp at the cliff's end, with multiple falls allowed before failure. Finally, the skateboarding portion places the player on a half-pipe course, navigating through tunnels and performing various tricks.

Progression through the game is linear, with players completing each event in turn. Performance across all events is tallied into a final point total. The structure focuses on individual event completion rather than a continuous narrative, with each minigame operating on its own set of rules and scoring parameters.
