Play California Games Ii (europe) Online

California Games II came out for the Sega Master System, published by Sega. It was part of that wave of sports compilations that tried to capture the feeling of sunny, outdoor fun on an 8-bit console. You got a mix of events that felt a bit more adventurous than the usual track and field.

You control an athlete across six different events: bodyboarding, footbag, jet skiing, roller skating, snowboarding, and hang gliding. The main goal is to score as many points as possible in each event to beat the high score. In footbag, you time your kicks to keep the bag in the air, performing tricks for bonus points. Hang gliding has you navigating through rings in the sky, using updrafts to gain altitude while carefully managing your speed. The jet skiing event requires you to hit ramps for big air and perform mid-air flips. The difficulty varies a lot between events; some, like roller skating, are fairly straightforward, while hang gliding demands precise control. It feels like a quick, varied challenge where you can jump into any event for a few minutes of play.
