|1. Welcome|
+----------+

Heh. California Games was one of the first games I ever played/owned and I 
love it. I saw a request for it on GameFAQs so I thought "Meh, why not?" and 
decided to write a FAQ for it. And here it is...

3. Practice One Event
4. View High Scores

+---------+
|3. Events|
+---------+

Here will be the descriptions of what you have to do in each event, and 
maybe a few pointers as well.

+-------------+
|3.1 Half Pipe|
+-------------+

The infamous Half Pipe (or for all you people out there who don't know what 
a half pipe is). Here you test your skills by skating up and down basically 
half a pipe (as the name suggests). I'm not sure what the controls are 
because I lost the manual for this game, so when I find out, i'll put it in. 
And i'm also not sure about the trick system... Check back later.

+------------+
|3.2 Foot Bag|
+------------+

Foot Bag is one of my favourites on California Games. You have to kick a 
bag around (why do they call it a bag?) and perform tricks with it. This 
event is set not far from the Golden Gate Bridge (it is featured in the 
background). You can also see Alcatraz, well i'm guessing it is.

+---------------------+
|3.2.1 Foot Bag Tricks|
+---------------------+

Here is a list of all the tricks, how to perform them, and how many points 
each is worth...(well actually, i'll put them in in the next update 
(hopefully))

+-----------+
|3.3 Surfing|
+-----------+

Here your goal is too - 1. not bail, not get swamped by the wave, and too 
perform some tricks for the judges. Not sure how you get scored in this 
event, so anyways. And, when you just start your run, I always try to 
squeeze in a 360, because you can usually pull it off with no problems.

+-----------+
|3.4 Skating|
+-----------+

Here, you are skating along a concrete footpath, beside the beach, trying 
to avoid obstacles (another question - why the hell are all these things in 
the way in the first place?).

+-------+
|3.5 BMX|
+-------+

My favourite event in the game. You get to cruise along a BMX track, pulling 
off tricks and stunts. You also have to make it to the end. And, you also 
have to avoid more obstacles along the way (old tires, tree stumps (why are 
there tree stumps on a BMX track?) and skulls of certain animals).

+---------------+
|3.6 Flying Disk|
+---------------+

Here your aim is too throw a frisbee to your partner. You have to try and 
get distance, and also make your partner catch the frisbee as well.

+---------------------------+
|4. Other Miscellaneous Crap|
+---------------------------+

Here is all the stuff that didn't fit into the other categories...

+---------------+
|4.1 High Scores|
+---------------+

Here is a list of high scores, when the game is turned on.
+-----------+------+-----+
|Event      |Name  |Score|
+-----------+------+-----+
|Half Pipe  |Poppi |6675 |
+-----------+------+-----+
|Foot Bag   |Kev   |14240|
+-----------+------+-----+
|Surfing    |Paul  |8.2  |
+-----------+------+-----+
|Skating    |Tess  |1860 |
+-----------+------+-----+
|BMX        |Sweep |32620|
+-----------+------+-----+
|Flying Disk|Rachel|620  |
+-----------+------+-----+

+------------+
|4.2 Sponsors|
+------------+

And here is a list of all the sponsors in the game. But it doesn't really 
matter what sponsor you pick, they are all they same. It's strictly too make 
your trophy look more cool. (in order left to right, top to bottom)

Maxx-Out
Costa Del Mar Sunglasses
Kawasaki Let The Good Times Roll
Santa Cruz Skateboards
Op Ocean Pacific
Casio
Auzzie Surf Boards
Spin Jammer Flying Disc

|7. Final Word|
+-------------+

This was the second video game I ever bought (the first was Kung Fu) and I 
must say it was one of the classic games released for any system. Well not 
really, but I was six at the time we bought it, and I thought it was 
excellent then, and I still do now...
