Play John Lowe's Ultimate Darts Online

John Lowe's Ultimate Darts came out for the Amiga in 1989, published by U.S. Gold. It was one of the better sports simulations on the platform at the time, offering a straightforward take on darts without much flash. The game didn't try to be anything more than what it was, which made it a solid choice for players who just wanted to throw some digital arrows.

You control a cursor to aim your dart, adjusting for power and trajectory before releasing each throw. The main goal is to hit high scores or finish games like 501 or Cricket against computer opponents or a friend. Two mechanics stand out: the scrolling target board that moves dynamically in some modes, and the ten difficulty levels that really test your consistency. Matches can feel tense, especially when you're down to your last dart with a finish needed. It feels satisfying when your timing and aim come together just right.
