Overview

180 is a Darts game that was developed by Binary Design and published in the UK by M.A.D.(a subsidiary of Mastertronic) for the 8-bit platforms Amstrad CPC (Platform), Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64 (Platform), MSX (Platform) and ZX Spectrum (Platform). In the USA this game was published for the Commodore 64 by Entertainment USA (Company)(also a subsidiary of Mastertronic) under the name Pub Darts.

Based on the 8-bit Binary Design release Zippo Games (Company) developed in 1988 an Arcade (Platform) version named World Darts for Mastertronic's "Arcadia Super Select System". The Arcadia multiplay coin-ops, which are based on the Amiga 500, came in two formats, Sports Simulation & Arcade Action, and contained 5 games each. Reportedly there was a 10 game machine that combined the two formats also.

The 16-bit versions for Amiga (Platform), Atari ST (Platform) and PC (Platform) followed in 1988, also named World Darts, and were published directly by Mastertronic.
