California Games (NES)

Easter Egg
Another love story. During the rollerskating game, if the player's name is "PAUL" or "RACHEL", the writing "PP & RME" will appear on the ground at the end of the course.

One of the programmers developing games for Rare was Paul Machacek, who often left hidden copyright messages in games he worked on (including Beetlejuice, It's Mr. Pants, and WWF Superstars), so this is likely another one from him.

Unused Text
The reset routine uses the string PAUL & RACHEL to check if the game was soft or hard reset.

Also, every PRG bank contains a small copyright string: (C) COPYRIGHT 1987 RARE LTD. ENGLAND.
