- This page is about Atari 800 version. For other games in this series, see 180.
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.

Music
180's title music is nice and catchy, certainly showing off what the Atari POKEY chip was capable of. There is also a short fanfare at the start of each set.

Game Rip

This rip is missing songs. |

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.
