Episode 129 – Super Scope Games

1 hour 38 minutes

It’s time for the holidays…and what did people receive as a gift during this time of year back in 1992? The Super Scope 6 of course! Nintendo’s successor to the NES Zapper was a bazooka-shaped monolith of potential. Though the final game library was small, the Super Scope 6 was full of untold gaming possibilities. From arcade ports like Operation Thunderbolt and Terminator 2: The Arcade Game, to Nintendo originals like Battle Clash, Metal Combat and Yoshi’s Safari, Super Scope brought a wave of innovation combined with top notch durability. Today’s episode focuses on the music from the library of Super Scope games. The XVGM Radio guys get a friendly but frazzled visit from co-podcaster RayjKayj of The VGMPorium, as well as discuss Justin’s fond memories playing Tinstar. Plus…Arnold Schwarzenegger himself calls in?! Maybe….or Maybe not. You’ll never know if you don’t click that play episode on our finale to 2025!
