I had pretty much every 'games' series game Epyx released on the C64 but over here that meant tape, which meant waiting 5mins to play an event for like 2 mins which was pretty ridiculous, Cali Games, on the other hand I picked up from a Computer fair on import (actually branded 'Epyx' and not 'US Gold') on 5'2" disk which was MUCH better - even saved your high scores back to the floppy!
