> First, in order to add a chance of serious injury, we'll change it from a one-player game (who ever heard of one-player sports, anyhow?) and make *another* player the target. And to make it impossible to stand around and drink beer, we'll allow both this player and the dart-throwing player to move around in quite a large area, say, the size of one tropical island. And to increase the "sweat" factor we'll make the darts more dangerous, say, making them solid metal and fired out of an artificial device, like, I don't know, a high-powered hunting rifle. And we'll give the dart-thrower (who now needs a new name, I don't know, the "hunter") extra equipment, like knives, a compass, provisions, and a team of killer attack dogs, and to increase the sweat factor some more we'll give the target (or "prey", for short) a one-day head start to run away. Is that dangerous enough yet?...

Would that have been Robert Sheckley's "Hunter/Victim" series of novels and short stories? I remember reading one of them off the back of it's tagline: "Set in a country where murder is legal between consenting adults...".
