Elite Darts

Elite Darts is a virtual dart-throwing simulation developed by Perpetual Motion Enterprises and published by Patch Products in 1999. The game supports Windows 95/98 and Macintosh systems, offering a comprehensive digital darts experience for up to four players over LAN and the Internet. It features five types of darts, four dart boards with distinct acoustics, and several atmospheric locales including a basement, sports bar, pool hall, and English pub. Game modes cover Cricket, Baseball, and multiple '01 variants (301, 201, etc.) with authentic rules verified by the American Dart Association. The mouse-driven throwing mechanic uses a ghost-arm motion, with a built-in control panel to adjust sensitivity and straight-throw assistance. Elite Darts includes a manual accessible in-game, digitized speech in some versions, and was packaged with plastic Arachnid darts. Its system requirements are modest: a Pentium 75 or PowerPC CPU, 8-16 MB RAM, and a 2 MB SVGA card. The game found a niche among darts enthusiasts seeking a solo or online alternative to smoky pub setups.
