Atari Video Computer System / 2600

CALIFORNIA GAMES

· HIDDEN MESSAGE: In the half-pipe event, push DOWN on the right controller while you do an "air turn" on the LEFT controller.  Every time you land it will show “SAB”, for Steve A. Baker (one of the game’s two programmers, the other being M. Peter Engelbrite). This does not affect score keeping.  {Al Backiel}

· In the footbag event, even though the score will eventually start to blink (to let you know time is running out) you can keep playing as long as you don’t drop the bag.  The maximum score possible in this event is 99,990.

· BUG: Incompatible with the original “heavy” 6-switch VCS model.

· RUMOR: A trick to reveal the initials “MPE” may also exist.
