SOFT-TIP ELECTRONIC DART GAME
FH-9600 Series
The history of darts goes back hundreds of years. Henry VIII of England
and Charles VI of France were said to be among the dart throwers. The game was
likely evolved from archery and spear throwing.
Moreover, the development of
modern darts was closely associated with English pubs. To hit the center of the
board (called "Bull's Eye", used to be made from cork) with a dart was once thought
to be purely
lucky.
Yet, to the English Court's satisfaction in 1908, a Leeds
innkeeper demonstrated that it is indeed a game of skill. Ever since, dart playing
has been accepted as a popular social and sporting activity. There are tournaments
in every country, and the game is enjoyed by millions of people worldwide.
Revolution in electronics has elevated the joy and fun of playing darts. New
and exciting games are being added to the collection. Automatic score-keeping and
hints for rules are making it ever so easy to play. From young to old, for men and
women, competing as individual or team, darts brings friends together.
It is no
wander, in darts tradition, that each game begins and ends with a handshake.
