Play 720 Degrees Online

720 Degrees was a skateboarding video game released for the Nintendo Game Boy Color in 1999.

Developed by Tiertex Design Studios and published by Acclaim Entertainment, the game is based on the classic 1980s arcade game of the same name.

Players take control of a skateboarder and must perform stunts to gain points while avoiding obstacles.

The objective of the game is to successfully complete each level with as many points as possible.

The original arcade version of 720 Degrees featured a rotary joystick and used two buttons; one for jumping and one for doing tricks.

The Game Boy Color version features a much simpler control scheme, using just two directional buttons; one for moving left and right, and one for jumping.

Players can also press both buttons simultaneously to perform tricks like ollies, kickflips, and grinds on rails or ramps.

Doing tricks will earn players extra points that can be used to purchase power-ups such as speed boosts or special boards in the game's shop mode.

The levels in 720 Degrees are filled with various obstacles like rocks, pools of water, pits of lava, barrels, and more.

As players progress through each level they must collect coins which can then be used to buy power-ups in the shop mode.

The levels are timed so players must make it to the end before time runs out or else they'll lose a life.

As players progress through each level they can find secret areas which contain additional coins or power-ups that will help them reach their goal faster.

Players can compete against their friends in multiplayer mode where up to four players can race against each other on either link cable or infrared connection (depending on which version they own).

In head-to-head mode two players can compete against each other by racing through levels as quickly as possible while attempting to beat each other's score along the way.

Overall 720 Degrees is an enjoyable experience that captures the spirit of its classic arcade predecessor while offering new features tailored specifically for its Game Boy Color release.

With its simple yet deep gameplay mechanics, colorful visuals, catchy soundtrack, competitive multiplayer mode, and overall fun factor it’s easy to see why this game has become a fan favorite among Game Boy Color enthusiasts over the years.
