Lawn darts have been banned for 21 years already since it is classified as the world’s deadliest backyard game, but this game is back better than ever in local bars. Target Toss Pro: Lawn Darts offers all the fun associated with lawn darts, albeit taking out the risk involved in flinging heavy metal spikes directly at loved ones.

Lawn darts is the love child of horseshoes and darts. The game is simple: heave foot-long javelins with aerodynamic fins into the air and hit the target on the ground, preferably without impaling anyone. The game was outlawed in the U.S. and Canada following several unfortunate accidents. Now, thanks to Incredible Technologies – inventor of Golden Tee Golf, the #1 all-time coin-op video bar game – pining lawn dart enthusiasts can finally get back in the swing. One of the hallmarks of IT games is their authentic commentary. (Golden Tee, for example, features the voices of sportscaster Jim Nantz and golf legend Peter Jacobsen.) When scripting voiceovers for Target Toss Pro: Lawn Darts, IT designers found inspiration in fond memories of family gatherings past – a heady mix of barbeque, Budweiser, and the awe-inspiring expletives of beer-soaked Uncle Bill.

It is interesting to note the game even comes with an uncensored Raw Talk option that features much more colorful epithets with each shot made. Of course, parents can always opt to disable this feature before the game if they want to prevent their kids’ brains from being polluted with expletives, but then again the TV doesn’t do a very good job at filtering these out anyways. Lawn Darts can accommodate up to 16 players and features four modes. You can choose from Classic Lawn Darts, 701, Cricket, and Poker Darts, costing only $1 to play.
