Bully’s Sporting Darts – Bully Came to the C64… But Was It Anything Like Bullseye?
Released in 1992 by Alternative Software for the Commodore 64, Bully’s Sporting Darts is a light-hearted darts simulation inspired by the hugely popular UK television game show Bullseye. It blends pub-style darts action with quiz elements and the unmistakable tone of early ’90s British TV entertainment. Gameplay offers several modes, including traditional 501 darts, a sports quiz section based directly on the show’s format, and the famous Bully’s Prize Board. You take turns throwing darts with simple, accessible controls, making it easy to pick up whether playing solo or against friends. Presentation leans heavily into cartoon-style visuals and digitised speech samples that echo the personality and humour of the TV show. This faithful recreation of Bullseye’s atmosphere is what gives the game its charm, capturing the spirit of the programme rather than aiming for strict darts realism.
