720° was novel because it pushed the Gauntlet hardware in ways that it was thought impossible (something about how the pits and walls were rendered, something something scanline bla bla bla I don't give a fuck and neither you do you). But if you play it, either on MAME, Midway Arcade Treasures, or the actual cabinet, you'll see that it's nothing more than a quarter-sucking arcade experience, while Skate Or Die is the embryo for what would come to be known as Thrasher: Skate and Destroy, the tadpole that would grown into the fully-evolved Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series.
So while I DO respect 720°'s place in history, you're being blinded by nostalgia if you consider it better than it's successors. It's like claiming that a Macintosh Classic is better than a quad-core modern day desktop PC. It has it's place in history, but are you REALLY expecting to do anything useful in today's world with it?
On the other hand, the Mac doesn't use Vista... ¬_¬
