We are still waiting on a suitable Amiga AGA emulator with robust recording features before tackling such games.

Player's Review
"Compete with NINJAS, BARBARIANS and ALIENS throwing death stars, axes, bazookas, lasers! CRAZY PUB SCENES - busty barmaids, JEERING PUNTERS, and TV crews, IT'S WILD MAN!! 501 or ROUND THE CLOCK!"
A Pub based Darts game which feels like a successor to the 1986 Mastertronic game 180.
In the game you face off again 6 wacky opponents until you win the game. Each opponents is more difficult than the previous and you can start the game on which ever you want. You will have less rounds to play if you start on a more difficult opponent as I have done in the video. I had to edit in the easier opponents after I realised how the game worked so it may look different to an expected run through the game.
Compared against the C64 version the game is more difficult and much closer to the Amiga version. In the C64 game you played against 3 opponents in a best of 3 and they player were mostly balanced in difficulty. As mentioned, you play all 6 in the Spectrum game 1 round each. The hand is much easier to control in this game and there is no music during play, a blessing?
Again presentation is a little lacking with no proper win screen after all the effort.
