Overview
Description

720 Degrees is a classic 1986 arcade skateboarding game from Atari Games that lets players rip through a suburban neighborhood, performing jumps and tricks to rack up points. The game’s unique timed structure forces you to keep scoring or the action ends, adding a thrilling pressure to land that ultimate 720° spin. After mastering the streets, high scores unlock the chance to compete at a skate park, making this one of the earliest extreme‑sports video experiences alongside BMX Simulator. Its simple controls and fast‑paced action capture the excitement of 80s arcade culture.

Take control of real skaters and pull off crazy trick combos in the groundbreaking first entry of the Tony Hawk series. The game delivers fast‑paced, arcade‑style skateboarding with a focus on style and high scores. Featuring single‑player challenges, multiplayer modes, and split‑screen competition, it set the standard for extreme sports games and remains a nostalgic favorite for fans of skate culture.
