Getting to Know 720 Degrees (USA, Europe)
720 Degrees originally hit arcades in 1986 as a pioneering skateboarding sports game from Atari Games. This version is the Game Boy Color port released for USA and Europe, bringing the arcade action to handhelds. It's a straightforward sports title where you control a skateboarder and compete in events like ramp jumping and downhill races to earn cash. The GBC edition stays true to the original concept, though the hardware limitations mean a simplified but faithful adaptation.
How to Play 720 Degrees (USA, Europe) Online
Begin by selecting a mode from the title screen. In the main game, you start at a skate park hub where you can choose which event to attempt. The core loop involves entering a competition, performing tricks or racing down slopes, and earning cash based on your performance. Use that money to buy better equipment or access new areas. The controls are simple: jump with X, and steer with the D-Pad. Timing is key for landing tricks and avoiding falls. If you're new to the game, start with the ramp jump event to get a feel for the physics before tackling the downhill races.
