720 Degrees (USA)

In 720 Degrees, players take on the role of an aspiring skateboarder, aiming to become a legend of the sport. The game starts in the Skate Park, a large central area where players can freely skate around and look for events. A "Maim Street" clock constantly counts down, putting pressure on the player to quickly find and enter competitions before time runs out. If the clock reaches zero, a swarm of bees will chase the player, and if caught, you lose a life.

There are various types of events for players to participate in, each offering a unique experience and requiring specific skills. These events include: Slalom (skating through gates), Downhill (high-speed descent), Half-Pipe (performing aerial tricks on a half-pipe), and Jump (leaping over obstacles). Successfully completing these events earns the player money. The money earned can be spent at Skate Shops, where you can upgrade your skateboard, helmet, pads, and new shoes, which helps improve performance and the ability to perform more daring stunts.

One of the distinctive features of 720 Degrees is the ability to perform artistic skateboarding tricks. Players can execute various moves such as jumps, spins, and grinds. The game's title "720 Degrees" refers to the ability to perform a 720-degree spin in the air, an incredibly impressive feat that yields high scores. Controls on the NES are relatively simple but require practice to master complex maneuvers. The game combines elements of exploration, time management, and skateboarding skill, creating a unique and addictive experience for players.
