720 degrees is a video game by Atari first for the arcade (1976), then later for the Nintendo Entertainment System (1989), and then for the Nintendo Gameboy color (1999).

It is a skateboarding game with 4 levels each consisting of four events:

The object of the game is to get through all four levels by getting through all four events on each level.

A player earns points and money for high scores in each event.

The player must have enough points to enter each event.
