720° Arcade Game

Beat the clock in this dynamic skateboarding game. Released by Atari in 1986, the 720° arcade game was one of the very first extreme sports arcade games. This timed game requires the player to continue to score to keep time on the clock, giving a ‘Skate or Die’ ultimatum if time starts to run out. By completing jumps, tricks, and events at skate parks, the player earns points and cash to upgrade their equipment and compete in more events and tournaments. To win and become the skateboarding champion, the player must complete 16 events at four of the parks. Upgrade your machine from a 25″ CRT to a 27″ LCD screen for $350. This game is also available for a complete restoration (side art, marquee art, control panel artwork, and new buttons) for an additional $600, making it look fresh off the factory line.
