Bully's Sporting Darts is a darts game, that was released by Alternative Software for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and Commodore Amiga in 1993; it is based upon the ATV (and later Central Television) darts-themed quiz show Bullseye, and the cover features five clones of its mascot "Bully" (who would appear in the bottom-right of a screen to 'Moo' when contestants failed to answer a question in time, and walk across the bottom of it with a dictionary, when they picked the "spelling" category). It includes "football" (where only the top half of the board is utilized), "golf" (501), "snooker" (round the clock), "tennis" and "cricket" variants - but none of them were ever on the show, and oddly enough, it does not feature the "prize board" that was on the show (or the famous 'In...one' speech sample as a result of this). This was also the last Alternative Software title to get released for the ZX, CPC and C64 because they were discontinued later on in the year; it's also worth noting that the 2006 PlayStation 2 game Bully also has no connection with this game or the show it is based on.
