'''''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 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. To aim, you move a cross-hair around the board, but you can't adjust throwing speed, so it's possible to rack up several bulls-eyes at the beginning without even trying. To keep things interesting the AI opponents in each tournament have their own cartoon faces and playing styles.

Although the game credits Jason Brooke, David Whittaker is credited for the Commodore version the HVSC and the 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 C64 and MSX release.

Ripping 8 bit Atari music is a very complex process that is beyond the scope of this site.
