World Darts (Arcadia, set 1, V 2.1)

Challenge a friend to a game of darts in World Darts, an arcade sports title released by Arcadia Systems in 1987. Players begin each round with a score of 500 and must strategically throw their virtual darts to reduce that total to zero, crucially finishing on a double target. Hitting the treble zones multiplies your score, presenting opportunities for high-scoring plays – achieving three treble twenties earns an impressive maximum score. The game features straightforward controls using an eight-way joystick to aim and buttons for dart release; it's easy to pick up but requires precision and skill to master. Two players can compete head-to-head, testing their accuracy and strategic thinking against each other. Created by the development team known as The Flying Ravioli Brothers, World Darts offers a classic darts experience in an arcade setting. Powered by a Motorola 68000 processor and custom sound chips, this game provides solid performance for its time. It's a straightforward and engaging sporting competition that rewards skill and accuracy.
