		<desc>CALIFORNIA GAMES WAS THE ORIGINAL "EXTREME GAMES" – WHAT TODAY'S GENERATION MIGHT CALL "X-GAMES IN THE SUN".  PLAYERS CAN SELECT SPONSORS (ABSENT IN SOME VERSIONS) AND COMPETE IN EVENTS SUCH AS SKATEBOARDING, FOOTBAG, SURFING, ROLLER SKATING, FLYING DISC (FRISBEE) AND BMX.  THE SURFING EVENT IS RANKED BY JUDGES, WHICH GIVE A SCORE TO HELP THE PLAYERS IMPROVE THEIR ROUTINE.

THE ATARI VERSIONS (2600 AND LYNX) OF THE GAME OMIT THE FLYING DISC AND ROLLER SKATING EVENTS, WHILE THE GENESIS VERSION OMITS ONLY THE FLYING DISC EVENT.</desc>

		<name>ROADBLASTERS</name>
		<desc>ROADBLASTERS IS A FUTURISTIC RACING ACTION GAME. THE GOAL IS TO REACH THE FINISH LINE IN ONE PIECE THROUGHOUT EACH OF 50 LEVELS. NUMEROUS ENEMIES ARE OUT ON THE ROAD TO TRY AND STOP YOU, INCLUDING ARMORED CARS, MOTORCYCLES, CANONS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LANDMINES, AND MORE.

YOUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A MACHINE GUN TO HELP YOU OUT, AND OCCASIONALLY A WEAPONS PLANE WILL FLY IN AND DROP ADDITIONAL POWER UPS THAT CAN BE COLLECTED. SOME OF THESE ARE THE U.Z. CANON, CRUISE MISSILES, AND SPEED BOOST. YOUR CAR HAS A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF FUEL, HOWEVER MORE CAN BE PICKED UP ALONG THE WAY BY CROSSING THE HALFWAY POINT OF A LEVEL, OR BY COLLECTING THE RED AND GREEN FUEL SPHERES THAT APPEAR IN THE ROAD OR AFTER DESTROYING CERTAIN ENEMIES.  ON MANY LEVELS COLLECTING FUEL IS CRITICAL OTHERWISE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO REACH THE FINISH LINE.</desc>

		<name>XYBOTS</name>
		<desc>XYBOTS IS EITHER AN UNUSUALLY SIMPLE COMPUTER GAME OR AN UNUSUALLY COMPLEX COIN-OP SHOOT 'EM UP, DEPENDING ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW. WITH EITHER ONE OR TWO PLAYERS, YOU MUST MOVE THROUGH A SERIES OF GAUNTLET-STYLE UNDERGROUND MAZES, KILLING THE BAD GUYS AND COLLECTING HEALTH AND OTHER BONUSES FROM FLYING SAUCERS (UNDERGROUND? SLIGHT LOGIC GAP THERE, METHINKS).IT'S DESIGNED TO BE PLAYED CO-OPERATIVELY, ALTHOUGH BULLETS FROM ONE PLAYER CAN HARM THE OTHER.

THE XYBOTS ARE OUT TO STOP YOU, OF COURSE, AND MANY HAVE ADVANCED ATTACK PATTERNS AS WELL AS BULLETS TO FIRE AT YOU. BEING ABLE TO VIEW ROUND CORNERS IS USEFUL, ALLOWING YOU TO PLAN A STRATEGY - OFTEN IT'S GOOD TO SEND ONE PLAYER FORWARD AND LET THE OTHER PLAY THE WAITING GAME, AS IN GAUNTLET.</desc>
