Random Fact: Many computer hardware vendors actually own seemingly unrelated companies as subsidiaries. For example, Acer used to run Aopen as a hardware vendor (Something I only know because of the fact that my first PC has an Aopen mobo), and ALi, AKA Acer Labs, inc. AOpen now mostly does business with embedded electronics and special-order PCs, and the part of ALi was acquired by Nvidia.

Except instead of throwing the darts directly at the balloons, one had to aim from the side, and in later levels, bounce the darts around. How do I know? I’ve played the Bloons games before.
