About this game

John Lowe's Ultimate Darts combines several darts-based games under the name of two-time World Darts Championship winner John Lowe. Players can choose from 10 difficulty levels and practice their aim in a dedicated practice mode.

Game Modes

  • Standard 501 darts
  • Round-the-board darts
  • A soccer-inspired territory variant where the higher score from each set of three darts gains territory
  • A cricket-inspired mode alternating batting and bowling, with points converted into runs and bullseyes used to get batsmen out

Only part of the dartboard is visible at once, with the display scrolling as the aiming arrow moves from the player's perspective. This makes some targets more difficult to reach than others.

Released in 1988 for Commodore Amiga and Commodore C64/128/MAX, the game was developed by Wise Owl and published by Gremlin Graphics Software.
