Play 720 Degrees Online

Summary

720° (often called 720 Degrees) lands on the Game Boy Color as a compact tribute to the arcade classic. The handheld version, built by Game Brains and released by Midway in 1999, keeps the core loop of earning tickets, entering one of four skate parks, and racing against a relentless swarm of killer bees that shout “SKATE OR DIE!” when time runs out.

Each park offers four distinct events – ramp, downhill, slalom and jump – and the player must pull off tricks, hit bull‑seye targets and even master the titular 720 spin to rack up points, cash, and medals. Money buys equipment upgrades, while extra tickets extend playtime, making the score‑to‑time relationship feel tight and addictive.

Critics praised the portable port, awarding perfect scores from several UK magazines and earning a spot at #79 on Flux’s 1995 Top 100 list. The title later resurfaced in the Midway Arcade Treasures collections, ensuring that the buzz of skateboard‑riding chaos still echoes for new handheld fans.
