===Version differences===
 
{{ii}} At least two versions are known to exist <ref>[https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=28727 CGII version discussion]</ref>
 
====V1.0====
 
When looking through CGII.EXE, it contains the string "Version 1.0 12/26/90". This version does not support Adlib sound. The box for this version said "Adlib upgrade available", this was an upgrade that could be ordered from Epyx for $10.
 
 
 
====V1.2.1====
 
When looking through GCII.EXE, it contains the string "Version 1.2.1 4/3/91". This version has Adlib support, but only if you also have the file ADLIB.DAT.
 
 
 
==Essential improvements==
 
===Packed file is corrupt===
 
If you receive the error "Packed file is corrupt" when starting the game, make sure you first run LOADFIX. LOADFIX is included with DOS 5.0 or later, and is also included with DOSBox.
 
 
 
==Game data==
 
===Configuration file(s) location===
 
{{ii}} The game auto detects the hardware on each startup. There is no configuration file.
 
 
 
===Save game data location===
 
{{ii}} The game does not support saving progress, it does however have a high-score table

==Video settings==
 
{{Image|California Games 2 video settings.png|Graphic capability options}}
 
 
 
By default the game will ask on each start which video mode you want to use. This can be circumvented by appending a letter representing the video mode to CGII.EXE. For instance CGII V will bypass the video selection screen and start the game in VGA mode.
