Play Darts (German) Online

Darts (German) was part of the MS-DOS Classic Games collection, a compilation of simple titles from the early PC gaming era. The game lacks a clear developer or publisher credit in many releases, but it fits right in with the straightforward, unadorned software common on floppy disks in the late 80s and early 90s. It was a time when even basic simulations of real-world activities could hold your attention, especially when played with a friend on the same keyboard.

You control a small on-screen cursor representing your dart, using the arrow keys to aim at a digital dartboard. The main objective is to score points by hitting specific segments, just like the real game, either against a computer opponent or a second player. Key mechanics include adjusting your aim with careful nudges, timing your throw with the spacebar, and dealing with a physics model that sometimes sends your dart veering into the wire dividers. The pacing is deliberate, almost tense, as you line up each shot; the difficulty comes from the imprecise controls and the need to judge distance and timing by eye. It feels like a genuine test of patience and hand-eye coordination, especially when a misthrow costs you the game.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
