Can TGB do 360 panoramic scenes

Hi !
Some 2D games integrate a panoramic 360 view, especially for adventure games. It's pure 2D, but the player can turn all around him without moving in front or back.
I think about all the adventure games from Microids for example, especially Mysterous Island Jules Vernes, Leonard Da Vinci or Dracula 3.
I imagine those games are made with a cube mapped with 2D pictures of the scene on the 6 faces. Some sprites are then added on those pictures with a classic way. Some hot points are then defined on the pictures (like a door for example) to simulate a move (like changing room).
How can we do that with TGB ?
Thanks for your help,
Pierre

You could also just put the paromaric image next to each other and move the camera right and left between the two. When a player is getting near the right edge of the rightmost image, you just jump the camera to the left image. Opposite for the other direction.
