Silent Scope is a sniper-based shoot 'em up arcade game released for the Dreamcast in 2000. Developed originally by Konami for arcades, the console version maintains the core gameplay where players take on the role of a sharpshooter tasked with taking down terrorists and saving hostages. The game is known for its unique sniper scope feature, which provides players with a zoomed-in view for precise targeting. Its engaging gameplay, time-based missions, and realistic sniper mechanics contribute to its genre as a light gun shooter. Silent Scope received praise for its innovative concept but also faced criticism for its short length and limited replayability.
