Love Electronic Darts? Two Exciting Systems from Japan
Saturday, 09.01.2007, 09:09am (GMT)
Japanese game maker Epoch
has recently released two electronic dartboards that bring the
experience of playing soft darts on a good quality dartboard into the
home. Electronic dartboards are nothing new, but good quality
electronic dartboards are on the expensive side. With the Epoch
systems, you have two options, TV Darts or PC Darts. The Japan Soft
Darts Association approves both systems. The prices on the Epoch
website are higher than they should be, I saw the TV Darts package on
sale at Toys R Us yesterday for about 5% less than the web-based quote.
TV Darts could be a great way to put your old CRT to use. The
dartboard is regulation size, though they have done away with the
traditional dartboard color scheme. There is a large range of games,
including several variations of the ever-popular cricket. Score data is
saved and there are up to 9,999 entries for each award.
PC Darts connects to your PC via a USB cable. With the bundled
software, you can customize many of the screens within the game. PC
Darts costs a little more than the TV version but looks sensational.
The screens look slick and the long USB cable should keep your monitor
out of harm’s way.
TV Darts Price: $163
PC Darts Price: $245
