MAWS search turned up

Ameridarts
Bulls Eye Darts
Shoot the Bull
World Darts
Parlour Games (Mega Tech) Darts

not much there....

I could never see myself playing this though.
I suppose if I felt I needed target practice I'd
use a lightgun game or something similar,
but then you're getting away from darts...

This seems like one of those things where it might just be easier to get the real deal.  Buy a dart board. :P

I've had an Ameridarts machine for years, and it is actually a load of fun. Especially when there are a few people playing it.  Granted a roller ball is not actually throwing real darts, but it is fun nonetheless and few people have lost eyes while playing this game.

nothing beats the old dartboard.

unless someone made a game that used soft tipped darts, where their was a sensor behind each hole and then it had a screen that played cool animations, Just like modern day bowling does.

thats the only way i see you could make darts more fun than they already are.

Agreed. Nothing beats the real thing.

whats funny, is that i loved darts when i was a kid and never had a board of my own.

when i used to visit my grandparents, id tear his dartboard up for a couple days till i got it out of my system. My parents wouldnt get me one cause they thought i was gonna get hurt.

funny thing is, years later when i was in my 20s, i had pretty much forgotten about that, but when grandpa died, one of the few things i got was that dartboard, he had put that in his will.

George Carlin said it best; "Youth is wasted on the young." You've just proven (again) that he was right!
