    I have one complete in the box I wrangled last year at a flea market for $10. I've used it a couple times last year when I had a spare AC adapter I could use on my NES Sharp TV since as you noted, it won't work on a LCD. I don't have a spare plug now and undoing the wiring for where the SNES is right now just isn't worth the struggle. I want to use it, so if I can get another legit first party plug I'll play it.

    Just to note there were more than just a couple games that worked with it, some were just covert about it. All these games work:

    Battle Clash
    Bazooka Blitzkrieg
    The Hunt for Red October (used for bonus games)
    Lamborghini American Challenge (features a Super Scope-exclusive mode)
    Lemmings 2: The Tribes (for calibration: quickly aim at the crosshair when the game starts)
    Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge
    Operation Thunderbolt
    Super Scope 6 (bundled with the hardware)
    T2: The Arcade Game
    Tin Star
    X-Zone
    Yoshi's Safari

    The variety is definitely there to be worth having it if you're into gun games as the library is comparable in size to what the NES had.

    I still have yet to buy and experience this one. I am interested though mainly because of Yoshi's Safari. Sure I can play it on Wii with a Wiimote but it would be great to experience it as intended.

    I have one, used it twice. It takes up a lot of collection space for what it does for my gaming. I'll probably sell it or trade it.

    oh ok cool stuff,i was completely unaware of that many games,haha,but i do now

    i actually havent used mine very much either,but when i have friends over,it is really fun playng some of the superscope games,where the missles and planes come from the side f the screen,very fun...

    yoshies safari,is a fun game,it was actually pretty easy,only prob i had with it was timing the jump,it took me quite a few times at first to get the hang of it,but it works well with the super scope,

    thx for yalls responses

    Personally I think Yoshi's Safari is a very boring, weak game. Its very easy if I remember it.
    The Super Scope is worth owning, but only for Battleclash and Metal Combat. Both are excellent games. I kinda think that all the other games playable with the super scope are all mediocre titles. Its worth it for Battleclash though.
    The thing takes 6 AA batteries, and if you dont turn the scope off when not in use it will drain the battery life super fast.

    Or, you could modify it to run off a power supply that you plug into the wall. I know a guy who did that.

    If you're looking to sell it, they've gone up in value in the last year complete in the box. They used to be mostly worthless as they eat up space, but now they seem to have become desirable.

    I do agree the pack-in game set is really solid and the two battle robot games (battleclash and metal combat) are excellent titles, but there are others really worth playing. Operation Thunderbolt is very solid, the sequel to Operation Wolf (Arcade/NES.) The T2 the Arcade Game plays like the arcade game using the SS6 instead of a crappy controller. TinStar also is a screwy one that works well with it, and the mouse, and the controller as it has like 3 gameplay models in one package. I've also been told that the X-Zone game is a real trip and has some nice mode7 visuals to back up the package. I can't speak for the others but I'd have to wonder if Bazooke Blitzkrieg is any fun as the robot on the cover reminds of those Zaku units from Gundam.

    I have one of these, with a few games. I haven't used it that much, but the games were good enough for me to keep the thing. Otherwise I would have sold it to clear out more space.

    Yeah... I "played" Yoshi's Safari with a wiimote a week or so ago and it was a miserable experience. I have a Super Scope someone gave me, but it lacks the sensor. I suppose I should haggle over the price for the sensor that a vendor has at the flea market. $10 is just a bit too much for an accesory for something that I'm not sure works in the first place.

    I've never tried, but since the Super Scope uses a sensor unlike the Zapper or Justifier, can the SS be used on an HDTV?

    I have it somewhere, its buried in my closet and it will take a hassle to take that sucker out. I think its fun for what it is. I had a luittle trouble with accuracy on my tv. It was a CRT but flat screened. Its one of those silver tvs that I see every Youtuber has in their retro room.

    Plus it's by far the most nerd-tacular light gun I can think of. I mean, it's like a bazooka. Totally freakin' awesome! I've been so tempted to make a gun rack for it on many occasions. Seems like the best way to store it :P

    The T2 game I've watched video of, it's basically a conversion of the T2 arcade cabinet, the big one with the mounted Uzis on the base where you unload on anything robotic on ground or in the air.
