Jocky Wilson's Compendium of Darts

Jocky Wilson's Compendium of Darts is Zeppelin Games' second darts game licensed from player Jocky Wilson, offering a broader selection of games than its predecessor.

Gameplay

Players guide a hand that directs each dart, but the hand moves along a constantly changing random arc. This jittery control system is intended to reflect the difficulty of realistic aiming, though it can make accurate throws challenging at first.

Included Games

• 501: The standard darts game.
• Football: Hit the bullseye to begin scoring, with a double adding a goal to the score.
• Bowls: Throw a “jack” dart and try to land subsequent darts as close to it as possible.
• Ten-Dart century: Score exactly 100 points with 10 darts.
• Shanghai: Score only with darts thrown at a particular area.
• Scram: One player progressively removes sectors from play while the opponent attempts to score from those remaining.

The game was released in 1990 for Amstrad CPC and Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
