The Super Scope, known as the Nintendo Scope in Europe and Australia, is a light gun peripheral created by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is able to aim and fire at targets on a screen by connecting to a small infrared receiver module placed on top of the television. The peripheral was first released in 1992 and packaged with the video game Super Scope 6. However, only twelve total games were compatible with the device, all released between 1992 and 1994.
