The SNES 'Scope'
Surely the worst console peripheral ever devised. What genius at Nintendo decided that the perfect follow-up to the NES Zapper should be a clunky, shoulder-mounted drainpipe?

90s kids love bazookas
that's marketing 101.

Although since I never had a super scope, it still holds a faint and irrational allure for me. I'm 28.

6 AA batteries lasted 3 hours. Fantastic stuff!

Hunt for Red October
SNES scope was bought specifically for that one game. It had one level where it was used. It was almost impossible (the level - not the game. The game was ENTIRELY impossible).

It was awesome.

What about the gun thingy for the mega drive, it built up like a sniper rifle, you could use it as a slightly large blaster type gun, then you clipped on a shoulder stock, a scope, and a very unnecessary barrel extension, supremely useless gadgetry.

Duck Hunt
was awesome when you could bazooka ducks out of the sky. The zapper was just too simple.
