720 Review

This game by little means substitutes the original arcade "720" (the graphics and gameplay are shoddy even for 8-bit), but does do an OK job being converted to the NES and offers some nostalgic fun.One should EXPECT a redundant game, after all, this is a very old game and most old games were redundant on principle!If you want more variety out of your 8-bit skateboarding game, I recommend "Skate Or Die!" (for the record, this game was a ripoff, albeit a good one, of "720") or T & C Surf Designs.Otherwise, if you own a PS2 or Gamecube, get the "Midway Arcade Treasures" game for the full-on arcade "720" experience!

Skate or Die Review

Well, I was 12 when this game came out in '88. I remember it fondly, as I was into the whole general area of culture which included thrash metal, skating, comic books and horror movies, and so I recently bought a copy in a used game store so's I could settle in with some nice, nostalgic gaming. So I start to play and, WHOA DUDE, I can't believe I was ever skilled with these crap controls; I used to be able to pull every trick volitionally in freestyle! I used to be able to actually leave the ramp in the high jump! I shut it off after about 10 unsatisfying <-(understatement) minutes. The only event that was actually playable was the pool joust. Then I remembered: I USED TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH THE MAX CONTROLLER!! Yes, the nes MAX controller is essential to actually PLAY this game.
I don't have any problem with the graphics or sound.
To me the game does a great job of representing aspects of the culture.
How much fun is this game? Well, without the MAX controller it is ridiculously un-fun, 1 out of 5 stars. WITH the MAX controller back in those days of '88 it was probably a 4.5 out of 5 stars for me. It was fun once I mastered the controls and friends came over to compete.

T & C Surf Designs: Wood & Water Rage Review

This game is one of the fore founders for sports games.Skateboarding and Surfing, in the 80's? no one would believe that a genre such as this could be good.If your a fan of the tony halk seires and you want to know how skating started in video games then this is your game.
Go on with your bad self TiKKi Guy.
