    Does anyone own it? Best arcade game by far.

    Woah. For that much you might as well buy a real high powered rifle! Still I wish I had the money to buy Silent Scope's cabinet too as it was a really neat setup.

    This was always one of my favorite games. One of the days I'd like to own. I found this weird pressed but obviously not legit copy of Silent Scope for Dreamcast at a Goodwill a while ago. It was in a Japanese Virtua Strikers DC case. :shrug:

    Weird pressed, huh? What was so special about it.

    i thought it was just weird to find it at Goodwill of all places. it's self-boot and has a modified "DC" logo (like the comics) which i guess stands for Dreamcast, lol.

    "Self boot" is an odd thing for a pirate disc to have on it, and an unrelated Japanese case for it is even weirder. Russian pirate disc?

    Tried it on the xbox with the gun that came with. It worked ok, except the brightness of the needed to be adjusted to insane heights. Making it non playable.

    2000$ is on the heavy side, tempting.........

    You don't get to reset the people after you've shot them and try again, though ;-)

    Uhhuh. If you had the money, would you buy the cab, or a gun?

    Where abouts do you live? I need to avoid that state! :lol:

    Sounds like you need to get yourself a CRT TV that isn't on its way out! The game was fine for us whenever we used it to test the gun when a second hand one came in our shop.

    $2000 isn't too bad a price, considering it would have originally sold for around $12,000. There is another on eBay for $1500, mind you...

    You got lucky with the TV or the PAL version had a different calibration mechanism. Silent Scope Complete was hard as hell to get to work right for most people. I had to resort to the LCD Topgun (and a custom arcade cabinet) to get it to be reasonably playable.

    Well you can reset them but you have to tape them or tie them up so they don't fall over right away. :p

    I'm not sure, both options are very tempting. I think I'd lean towards the gun though.

    Well you should probably avoid most of the southern and midwestern states then to avoid rifles. But then the West and North East you have to worry about the handguns. ;) Americans like their guns.

    Mind I ask which tv set you used? And you didn't need to adjust its brightness?
