Where to get it:

ftp://coombs.anu.edu.au/pub/alt.sport.darts/software/ibm/od301v3.zip

Here is the readme.txt file, as prepared by the author...

This program is similar to an electronic dart board, only better. You don't have to pay 50 cents to play a game. Simply point and click on the dart board in the Office Darts window to enter your darts. You can use steel tip darts, soft tip darts, or simulate the throw with your mouse to play the various dart games.

The following dart games are currently available on the full licensed version:

  • 301, 501, and 701 with any variation of Double In and/or Out.
  • Count Up 250, 500, and 1000.
  • Cricket.
  • Golf.
  • Tic Tac Toe.

More games will be added in the future based on requests.

One to four players can play any game other than Tic Tac Toe. Due to its nature, only 2 players can play Tic Tac Toe. Computer players can be activated for any player position. There are four main computer players skill levels and each level can be fine tuned for a virtually infinite number of levels. The program matches the computer players skill level to yours by slightly increasing its skill level when it looses, and slightly decreasing its skill level when it wins. The computer players feature provides a perfect practice partner allowing you to quickly improve your game while having fun.

This is quite a sophisticated program with good graphics, sound, and animation. Attempting to describe all the programs features would make this document too long. The program does contain a very large and well organized help system with help buttons on just about every menu. The full licensed version cost $17.00 (with no shipping, handling, or other charges) and can be obtained by dialling a 1-800 number. You'll have to download OD301V3.ZIP to get that 1-800 number. The freeware version of Office Darts, Office Darts 301, contains all the features of Office Darts but only for the following dart games:

  • 301 with any variation of Double In and/or Out.
  • Count Up 500.
  • Tic Tac Toe.

If you are running MS Windows or WIN95 download the program and have some fun!!!!
