- Atari 2600 games are often very clear and easy to follow.
- Virtual vs. Real games: Use an accessible computer set-up running Darts, Pool or Snooker next to a real dartboard, pool or snooker table. ("180 Darts" for the Commodore 64/128, and "Archer McClean's Pool" and "Snooker" for the Atari ST or Commodore Amiga are superb for this).
