'''''180''''' is a well-constructed, yet simplistic, darts game. You can play with two human players or single player against a computer opponent, but the only game you can play is the standard 501 point game of darts. The aiming system is a little too simple. It's possible to rack up several bulls-eyes at the beginning without even trying, and you don't get to adjust for throwing speed. To keep things interesting the AI opponents in each tournament have their own cartoon faces and playing styles.

'''''180''''' simulates the standard game of darts called 501. The game includes three methods of play, one-player against a computer opponent, two player against a human opponent, or a one-player tune-up game where you try to hit each number on the board in a short time span. The AI opponents have silly cartoon names and faces which add a little character to the game. Aiming is performed by controlling a hand that only moves along diagonal lines and can't be kept still. You must time your throws just as the hand reaches your target. The title of the game comes from the highest score you can achieve in a single round of 501, 180 points.

Although the game credits [[Jason Brooke]], [[David Whittaker]] is credited for the [[180 (C64)|Commodore]] version the HVSC and the [[180 (ZXS)|ZX Spectrum]] version in the rip archive. The music is the same throughout each port, but there are no credits to verify the HVSC or Spectrum rips.

The rip doesn't have [[Waiting]] tune, playing like in [[180 (C64)|C64]] and [[180 (MSX)|MSX]] release.
 
 
Ripping 8 bit Atari music is a very complex process that is beyond the scope of this site.

Platform: Atari 8-bit
Year: 1986
Developer: Binary Design, Ltd.
This page is about Atari 8-bit version. For other games in this series, see 180.

180 simulates the standard game of darts called 501. The game includes three methods of play, one-player against a computer opponent, two player against a human opponent, or a one-player tune-up game where you try to hit each number on the board in a short time span. The AI opponents have silly cartoon names and faces which add a little character to the game. Aiming is performed by controlling a hand that only moves along diagonal lines and can't be kept still. You must time your throws just as the hand reaches your target. The title of the game comes from the highest score you can achieve in a single round of 501, 180 points.
