On the halfpipe one if you lanched around the tunnel it would glitch out and you would ly over the tunnel and only land once you got to the other side
Good advice.
I couldnt find any youtube videos showing the technique but i clearly remember me and my friend many years agao playing it on IBM and we always did that as a ''Special move'' You could truly exploit it. Give it a god for me if you can i would love to see it down.
@@kramersteensymes3523 I think the trick was to tap the opposite direction of what side of the pipe you were jumping up.
So much nostalgia...I’d love to play this on the computer again.
I can’t believe I found this. I remember dying against the wall in the half pipe lol
where is thy sting!
My god i love early 90s games that emphasise water or tropical environment
LOL!!! If you compete in the bodyboard wit' moar than 3 participiants, the third one gets eaten by a hungry shark :DDD
7:46 That's the music of my childhood
11:27 "Vertical Hunger" Yes, cause Horizontal Hunger ARE FOR GROMMETS!!!
he must have been one swood guy
10:26 Oh no there goes grandma
Only one rating, and it's a dislike?
I'll fix that. This is afterall the only video I could find on all of TH-cam that has this sick title tune!
Thanks muchly. It might be because I'm such a woeful player in some sports. If you'd like to check out my many flubs in recording my gameplay across all of the Epyx "Games" series, check out this TH-cam vid here: The Epyx Fail Reel
This is probably the only time I've seen anything other than snowboarding get finished.
11:27 THEY JUST COULDN'T STOP ME! I'M GOIN' UP ALL OVER THE ROOFTOPS! SWOOD THIS! SWOOD THAT!
"FISH FOOD DUDE!"
I just can't stop laughing at that one.
+Brendan Richards swood fish food dood
Naming your player Ummagumma I instantly think of the 1969 half live half studio album album from Pink Floyd.
15:06 I like the random black flag logo in the bowl!! 🔥
Didn't know there was a second one. xD
Must have for the next inhouse retro MP session.
I guess Jon played this version cause it was "The most smooth"
No, it was ‘Swood.’
SWOOD THIS, SWOOD THAT
7:10 everybody do the flop!
12:28 I wonder how his hands feel after coming to a complete stop with his palm on a down hill course.
Pain!
Grommet this, grommet that! THE FUCK DOES GROMMET MEAN?!
In some ways, it seems better than the SNES version
3:43 - That's Fido Dido from 7up?
Let's drop in on a grommet
THE FUCK DOES GROMMET MEAN!?
EPIC
I wonder why it goes into EGA mode in-game.
Nice Dos Version of the song Wipe Out
One word: JonTron
You know. The Los Angeles Dinosaur.
ummagumma nice!
I only know the first part
Epyx really used that Theme tune in a lot of games. This game was a bit shit, although crashing into the wall on the skateboarding was funny.
Like most composers, Chris Grigg was known for recycling his compositions.
WHAT? There's a number 2??!😃🤩
The first one was released right when Epyx hit its peak. After that, Epyx nearly completed the design of its handheld console, but by the time it was near completion, they didnt realize they needed a better distribution network and more marketing funds. Atari came in and helped them do that, but several key programmers threatened to quit the moment Atari came in (and made good on that threat). Epyx started losing money, and Atari held back the funding Epyx needed, and Epyx was in the middle of their bankruptcy when California Games II was released, and most people forgot about Epyx after the Commodore 64 was obsolete.
@@scottythegreat1 Shame, sounded like Epyx made some great games
@@planetX15 When Epyx merged with Starpath in 1984, that was when everything took off. During the video game crash of 1983-1984, Epyx looked like the (North American based) company that would lead the video/computer game industry for years to come. The problem with Epyx was that Nintendo took over the console market and made sure that they controlled what went on the NES, and several key North American publishers objected to the rules and/or the fees Nintendo required to get the games on the console (including Epyx).
How do you configure this game to use the adlib sound? My version only uses the PC speaker
3:37
how'd you get the tandy sound quality?
How did you get Adlib/Soundblaster music playing?

Thisgameappearstobefierce.
I preferred 80s one...
California used to be cool like this game. Then came the dark times. The Communists.
I used to be awful at this game...now I see its because it was an awful game!
the fuck does grommet mean
Everyone always wondered why they never released the C64 version of this. I guess cos it was garbage?
Lol this guy doesn't know how to hang glide
actually he doesn't know how to play the game at all, but at least it's really cool he uploaded the video 🙂
It doesn't matter how good/bad he is at the game, the point of the upload was to show nostalgia and he succeeded in that
Ha ha wie geil das war, aber ich war viel besser
11:27 *THEY JUST COULDN'T STOP ME!*
