THE GAME
The player controls a skateboarder. The object of the game is to perform stunts accumulating points for which skate park tickets are obtained. In the parks you compete to gain medals and cash. Cash may be used to purchase better equipment(e.g. boards, shoes, pads, protective helmets) which improves the performance of the player. 

Select keyboard or joystick and then press key 1 for three credits. You can then skate around "Skate City" visiting the four shops and four parks. There are four parks in "Skate City" each of which may be visited only once on each level of the game. The parks are Downhill, Jump, Ramp and Slalom. 

The locations of these are indicated on a map which appears on the screen if you pass over a "map" square. Activating the joystick continues the game, these are pointed to by "D" markers - Downhill, "J"-Jump, "R" - Ramp, "S" - Slalom. 

Tickets are used as the parks are visited (under the T on the screen). Extra tickets are awarded at 5,000, 15,000, 25,000, 35,000 etc. points. Medals are awarded for good performance in the parks, with cash prizes and bonus points. 

After visiting each park a status sheet is displayed indicating medals awarded. High score and remaining credits also. When in the vicinity of a shop an icon to the right of the screen flashes alternately with the price. These icons represent helmets, shoes, skateboard and pads. The level of equipment is indicated alongside the appropriate icon. Approaching the counter at the correct place either results in a "SALE" or "NO SALE" message. 

Bonus points are awarded for remaining cash at the end of the game. 
If the player does not enter a park within the time limit displayed on the bar timer, he is pursued by killer bees. These become more dangerous if the player does not enter a park quickly, transforming into various objects. Extra points may be gained by passing over certain hidden locations. 

Dollar bills on the road may be collected. The player should avoid contact with other characters appearing on the screen. 

'''KEYBOARD CONTROLS'''
Q - Turn anticlockwise; W - Turn clockwise; J - Jump; K - Kick; L - Stop.
Rotation keys Q and W are used to select the direction. Pressing K will cause the player to turn off.
P - Pause; C - Screen colour; X - Exit Skate City to start.

THE GAME
The player controls a skateboarder. The object of the game is to perform stunts accumulating points for which skate park tickets are obtained. In the parks you compete to gain medals and cash. Cash may be used to purchase better equipment(e.g. boards, shoes, pads, protective helmets) which improves the performance of the player. 

Select keyboard or joystick and then press key 1 for three credits. You can then skate around "Skate City" visiting the four shops and four parks. There are four parks in "Skate City" each of which may be visited only once on each level of the game. The parks are Downhill, Jump, Ramp and Slalom. 

The locations of these are indicated on a map which appears on the screen if you pass over a "map" square. Activating the joystick continues the game, these are pointed to by "D" markers - Downhill, "J"-Jump, "R" - Ramp, "S" - Slalom. 

Tickets are used as the parks are visited (under the T on the screen). Extra tickets are awarded at 5,000, 15,000, 25,000, 35,000 etc. points. Medals are awarded for good performance in the parks, with cash prizes and bonus points. 

After visiting each park a status sheet is displayed indicating medals awarded. High score and remaining credits also. When in the vicinity of a shop an icon to the right of the screen flashes alternately with the price. These icons represent helmets, shoes, skateboard and pads. The level of equipment is indicated alongside the appropriate icon. Approaching the counter at the correct place either results in a "SALE" or "NO SALE" message. 

Bonus points are awarded for remaining cash at the end of the game. 
If the player does not enter a park within the time limit displayed on the bar timer, he is pursued by killer bees. These become more dangerous if the player does not enter a park quickly, transforming into various objects. Extra points may be gained by passing over certain hidden locations. 

Dollar bills on the road may be collected. The player should avoid contact with other characters appearing on the screen.

Q - Turn anticlockwise; W - Turn clockwise; J - Jump; K - Kick; L - Stop.

'''''180''''' is a Darts game by [[Mastertronic]], published on their '''M.A.D.''' label.

== Inlay Text ==

You are now the proud owner of the one and only REAL darts game around. 180 has eight different opponents waiting to take you on, a two player option for when your friends want to join in and a practice game to help you win when they do!

Against the computer you’ll play in a Championship knockout (coming in at quarter final stage) and to carry off the tournament you have to beat three opponents. The game selects who you’ll play and in what order at random each time so that every game is different. Regardless of which of the eight characters appear and when, they will get better as you progress towards the final. Each of the players has his own style of play, with “favourite” doubles and finishing technique. Working this out early in a match can often help you win through.

The practice game, which we suggest you try out first, is there to help you become more skilful at throwing the darts. There is (very) little luck in 180. To win you need to have a good eye and complete mastery of the throw. Practice is against the clock. You have to hit each number in sequence, from 20 to 1, in a limited time. Easy it isnot, but it is a lot of fun and it will develop your skills for the big match!

'''501 AND ALL THAT'''

The main game is the “standard” matchplay dats, where the two players compete to see who can score 501 first, on a best out of three basis (called sets). You can throw at any part of the board you like but you must finish by hitting a double, ie. If you need 4 to win, you aim for double two, not single four. The bullseye in the centre of the board counts as “double 25” and is thus a legal finishing shot.

With the maximum possible score being the (infamous) 180 (three treble 20 hits) it follows that the highest number you can finish from is 170 (two treble 20, bullseye) and there are “preferred” (ie. easier) ways to score most of the possible winning combinations below that. In real life the players in a match take turns throwing first – it is called “having the darts” – and thus the advantage is shared equally between them. The player who throws first should also be first to go for the winning double, all else being equal. However, in 180 you will always get the darts first – don’t waste them!

'''CONTROLLING THE THROW'''

Joystick is the recommended method of taking your shots, but you use the keyboard follow the on screen instructions to define your own choice of keys, and with regard to which joystick interfaces are supported.

Push up to start “your” hand into motion. You’ll notice very quickly that up, down, left and right don’t work! Only diagonal movements are responded to in order to simulate the difficulty of lining up and successfully hitting the dartboard from nearly eight feet away. Push FIRE to throw. The control system feels a little odd at first, but you’ll soon get used to it. Practice will make (nearly) perfect – honest!

Play the tune-up game a few times!

'''SCREENING AND THROWING'''

Whilst you are taking your turn at the board, the screen shows the hand holding your dart, the board itself and the automatic blackboard. Make your three shots and the score is automatically chalked up for you. At the bottom of the board is shown your opponents score.
Once you’ve played, the screen will switch to an animated sequence as your opponent tries to defeat you! (Look out for happenings in the background!) Just as in the real world, there is nothing you can do here except watch and weep as all your well laid plans are shot to pieces…

'''THE MAGNIFICENT EIGHT'''

So that you will know what, or who, to expect here is the list of experts you might be called upon to play against in 180. Depending on what stage of the competition you meet them their rating could be anything from fantastic upwards, although some are always better and will play differently. But we’re not going to tell you any more than that – there have to be some surprises in life after all: -

Quarter and semi finals: Mega Mick, Belly Bill, Delboy Des, Devious Dave, Sure Shot Sidney, Limp Wrist Larry, Tactical Tel

Final: Jammy Jim, World Champion and ace dart player. To beat him you have to be more than just amazing.

== Trivia ==
* When originally released for the [[ZX Spectrum]], author [[Derek Brewster]] had decided to name his game ''Invasion 2000'', however, publishers [[Micromega]] were unhappy with the name as it didn't reflect the content and made it sound like another space invaders knock-off, which the market was being flooded with at that time. Prior to settling on '''Codename MAT''', the game was also known as ''Hank'' during the development stage.
* The game was the first release for Brewster's own company [[Zeppelin Games]] when the title was re-released at the beginning of 1988 - although mentioned in the gaming press as being released on the CPC, this would appear to have not happened.
* The game did spawn a sequel in the form of ''[[Codename MAT II]]'' published by [[Domark]]
* Codename MAT is also available on:
