About this game

Bullseye adapts the ITV darts quiz show into a two-player computer game. Players alternate between aiming at category sections on a custom board and throwing darts at a standard board to determine question values.

Game Rounds

  • The opening round combines dart accuracy with subject categories and questions worth 30, 50, or 100 points.
  • In the second round, players throw three darts each. The higher scorer receives a question for the value of their darts, with the opponent able to answer if they miss.
  • The leading player then takes on a board of black and red segments plus the bullseye, risking prizes by hitting red segments more than once.
  • Afterward, the player chooses whether to gamble their score on the final Prize Board, which requires 101 points in four darts.

The game was released for Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Commodore C64/128/MAX, Quiz Machines, and Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
