720 Degrees adapts the Atari skateboard arcade to NES with its skater traversing urban parks and varied challenges. The conversion keeps the 80s street culture spirit but handling stays demanding. Pleasant for 8 bit extreme sport fans, original in the arcade skateboard concept.

Collector interest

As a NES port of Atari's rotary-stick arcade hit, 720 Degrees loses the cabinet's signature control and stays a second-hand conversion, which caps its standing. Its value rests mainly on a modest NES print run and nostalgia for the 1986 skateboarding coin-op. Loose carts surface easily, while sealed complete copies are the exception driving the price up without any deep underlying scarcity.
