Platform: Commodore 64
Year: 1986
Developer: Binary Design, Ltd.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Credits

(Sourse: game lacks audio credits.)

For the version with the same music, Atari 800 version credits Jason Brooke. But HVSC credits David Whittaker for the same version. Who is right - it's unknown.

The rip also include track, which is actually rendered human voice, so it wasn't recorded.

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