Silent Scope
IT’S A LONG SHOT, BUT IT’S WORTH TAKING
» DREAMCAST » 2000 » KONAMI The entrance of my local Sega Park is a location that appears to be permanently burned into my memory. To the right of the Crazy Taxi cabinet literally shouting for attention, there stands a machine taking the opposite approach, beckoning potential punters over with a cool female voice. But more often than not it’s in use, with the radio operator urging the player, “The police are under fire, please provide backup!” Everybody seems to love Silent Scope – and why wouldn’t they? The gimmick of the tiny LCD display in the scope makes for a spectacularly immersive experience.
