Ok, for those of you who haven't seen it yet, Silent Scope is the first really good sniper simulation arcade game. And it's anything but easy! On the main screen, you'll see enemy snipers moving around on rooftops, in crowds of people, or hiding out. No prob, just point and shoot, right? Wrong.

The enemies are so far away, they only appear as a tiny black dot on the high-resolution screen. In order to actually HIT someone, you'll have to look into that little scope on your gun (yes, there's a real screen in there!) Inside, you'll see a zoomed-in image of the area where you are currently aimed. Just get the bad guy in the crosshairs and pull the trigger! It can be really tricky, especially when the little bastards are moving around everywhere (the football stadium.. christ!) but when you make a clean kill it's a hell of a feeling!
