'''''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's'' title music is nice and catchy.  
 
  
There is also a short fanfare at the start of each set.

The third track, [[Waiting]], looks like title music, but don't looping and ends at 0:07 with strange noice. This track plays when the game shows your opponent, playing darts after you.

''180's'' title music is nice and catchy, and there is also a short fanfare at the start of each set. The third track, [[Waiting - 180|Waiting]], starts like ''Title'', but doesn't loop, and ends at 0:07 with a deep C major chord. This track plays in an early release of the game, when the game shows your opponent, playing darts after you. In the common release, ''Title'' plays.
The rip also include the forth. It's the voice of somebody, talking "One hundred eighty!", rendered on SID chip (although the quality of this sound is very low, and it's very difficult to understand what the words were rendered, it's very nice trying to render human voice with non-digital audio). This file isn't looping, and it's playing, if you take 180 point in the round. This is not music, so this track were not recorded.

This page is about Commodore 64 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, and there is also a short fanfare at the start of each set. The third track, Waiting, starts like Title, but doesn't loop, and ends at 0:07 with a deep C major chord. This track plays in an early release of the game, when the game shows your opponent, playing darts after you. In the common release, Title plays.

The fourth track in the rip is the voice of Pete Gartside, saying "One hundred eighty!" which plays when you get three triple-20s in a single set. The quality is very low, and it's very difficult to understand what the words are, but it's still impressive that the developers rendered human voice on a PSG).

Ripping Commodore 64 music is a very complex process that is beyond the scope of this site.
