MACHINE: Spectrum 48K CONTROL: Keys FROM: Artic, £6.95 No beer belly is required to play this darts game, but you might need a stiff drink or two to keep you at it, because it's not very interesting. The board is displayed on the left and darts are aimed by positioning dots at the bottom and the side. Unfortunately, your dart doesn't always go where you hope since there is a strength factor to take into account as well. On the right is the player - it's not clear whether it's supposed to be John Lowe or Eric Bristow. All that moves is his hand. Simulations like this pale very quickly, they can't even be very exciting to the dedicated darts player.
