Play 720 Online

I remember picking up 720 for the Game Boy Color back in 1999. It was a Midway Games release, a time when handhelds were full of arcade ports and simple action games. This one stood out because it was a skateboarding title, which wasn't super common on the platform then. It felt like a direct, if simplified, attempt to bring that arcade skate vibe to a pocket screen.

You control a lone skater navigating a city from an overhead view. Your main goal is to rack up points by performing tricks and grinding on rails, all while avoiding hazards like security guards and puddles that can wipe you out. The game is structured around visiting different skate parks, which you unlock by earning enough points in the open city areas. Key mechanics include building up speed to launch off ramps for big air and using a limited trick system to boost your score. The pacing is relentless; you are constantly moving, and the difficulty spikes quickly, demanding quick reflexes. It feels frantic and a bit unforgiving, but landing a perfect combo run gives a genuine rush.
