Player's Review

"WACKY DARTS - Compete against NINJAS, BARBARIANS and ALIENS throwing death stars, axes, bazookas, lasers and more! CRAZY PUB SCENES with busty barmaids, JEERING punters and TV CREWS. IT'S WILD MAN!! 501 or ROUND THE CLOCK!"

Conversion of the Spectrum game released in1 1990. Whilst the Amiga mostly the same as the original, it also isn't trying to be any better than the original and feels lacking for an Amiga game, even a budget one. Once the game is loaded you can start a tournament in 501 or round the clock mode against any opponent. You will play a best of three rounds before moving onto a the next opponent. You only need to face of against three opponents to win the game, not that anything happens for doing so. Not much else to say about the game though, it's darts which has you controlling a hand that only moves diagonally and you just need to time your shot with the height of the arrow.

The longplay shows playing against all characters. This is done by playing two full tournaments followed by two failed tournaments so that I don't have to play another round. The last tournament is in round the clock mode. It's difficult to make a fun longplay of a darts game as I have to win to move on and cant really pjust play badly as the ai opponents will take any opportunity to steal the win.

I think there is some kind cheat for the game to show Dizzy or at least an image of him. There is a Dizzy.raw file on the disk and scanning through the executable there is a txt message saying you found dizzy and he will be in Dizzy 4. I have not figured how it is triggered though.
