This game and I have had quite a back-and-forth. When I was little, I didn't like it because it was kind of boring. I would play it with my parents every once in a while, though, and I soon discovered that if I played as the alien (as I always did after this point), (1) it throws the dart by wiggling its finger instead of an actual throwing motion, and (2) sometimes the dart randomly flies around all over the place instead of going where you threw it, and that can be annoying or fun, depending on how important that throw was. Then I grew bored with it again, and now, as an adult, it's actually pretty fun.
It really helps to actually know darts terminology (of which I never realized there was so much, until I revisited this game). There are a handful of types of games, but the only ones I ever play are the 301, 501, and 701 (where you try to get exactly that number of points without going over).
You line up your shot with three different aspects. In the photo above: (1) the dart at the bottom of the dartboard has a ticker underneath it that goes left/right; (2) then an aiming cone thing is in front of your face and goes up/down; (3) then the red bar at the far right is up/down too.
It didn't happen in this game, but sometimes a fly appears on the board and if you hit it... I don't remember what happens. Something.
