Wacky Darts, developed by Big Red Software and published by Codemasters in 1990.
"Compete with NINJAS, BARBARIANS and ALIENS throwing death stars, axes, bazookas, lasers! CRAZY PUB SCENES - busty barmaids, JEERING PUNTERS, and TV crews, IT'S WILD MAN!! 501 or ROUND THE CLOCK!"
The game feels like a Sequel to Mastertronics 180! It's Darts! Choose the tournament type and compete against a selection of opponents. Move the hand around and throw when the time is right watching for how high or low the aim is. Between each round you get to see the Pub Scene and watch your opponent use what ever weapon he has to score. Each round is a best of 3. Once three rounds are complete you win.
The C64 is much more forgiving with opponent accuracy than I remember the Amiga version being. You can actually have a fair game on the C64. That's not to see it easy because moving the hand around and getting the aim right can be frustratingly annoying. The video shows a run through the 5-0-1 tournament
Overall, its not a bad game but 180! is the better darts game. The presentation is not the best and there is no win / complete screen. The game has music throughout but while the tune isn't bad, it doesn't take long to become annoying as it loops over and over.
