Magic Darts on NES is one of those weird little sports sims that somehow nails the feel of throwing darts better than you'd expect. You pick from these bizarre characters—like a monkey in a vest or a ninja who probably shouldn’t be in a pub—then adjust your throw based on position, angle, and power. Mess up the timing and your dart veers off like you’ve had one too many.

There’s a solid selection of game modes, from classic 501 to Round the Clock, and the physics actually make sense once you get the hang of it. The music’s got this weirdly intense energy, like every throw is life-or-death. But yeah, it’s still darts—fun for a few rounds, though you’ll probably switch to something flashier after a while. Hardcore dart fans might miss the real thing, but for a 90s digital version, it’s surprisingly decent.
