Review
Also known as
720 Degrees

Skate through a large park, perform tricks, and compete in timed events to upgrade your gear.

720° was originally released in arcades in 1986. The NES version was released in North America in November 1989 by Mindscape.

About 720º

"720 Degrees" is set within a large skatepark environment known as Skate City. The player controls a skateboarder who performs various maneuvers such as jumps and grinds while navigating past other people in the area.

Progression involves locating skate shops to purchase equipment upgrades, which is funded by currency earned from entering competitions. A challenging element is introduced by a time pressure system, where failing to reach a competition triggers a specific warning and necessitates a hurried response.
