I just picked one of these up over the weekend, and I really don't understand what Nintendo was thinking when they designed this thing.  Granted it was the perfect prop, modified of course, for the Super Mario Bros. movie but other than that it sucks.  I tried playing with this thing, and it really isn't that simple, definitely not as simple as the original Zapper for the NES.  This was just a heinously bad peripheral.  Definitely only for collecting purposes, not for actual playing.

Yeah, the 16-bit light guns pretty much sucked (except lethal enforcers) - the SG menacer and the power scope were pretty much worthless! Were there even any decent games for the Super Scope?

None that I have been able to find.  The only one I have is the 6-in-1 game that came with the gun.  Really just a bad idea for a peripheral.

I have one too, and I never use it. It's one of the many useless peripherals video game companies have tried to pass off as "fun". Actually, this concept has article potential now that I think about it.

Oh! Wasn't there some Yoshi game that used the Scope? I wonder how that was.

I'm actually in the market for another one now, because mine is currently broken. Stupid thing just stopped playing nice.  I finished turning it into a bottle-rocket bomb launcher last weekend. Works semi-effectively.
