Want to talk OMG RAR3Z SNES game?

[MotherGunner]

No one f*cking believed me when I told this story and finally someone documented it.

While I was in the U.S. Army, I used a Super Nintendo to practice my shooting skills!  We also had something called the Weaponeer, but these systems have long since been replaced by the EST2000 program.

I wish I could get my hands on one of these, good times!

Well, at least now we know what SNES game cost the most to develop.

That's kick ass! Beats the hell out of the super scope. I'm surprised they didn't release that with Super Platoon lol

That's amazing! I wonder why I haven't seen anything about this before if 600 were produced. Do you think they are in storage in some Indiana Jones-style warehouse? Maybe they were all destroyed when they upgraded.

I remember reading about that a few years ago.

That's the best light gun ever made.

This is military training equipment.  The Pengagon doesn't get bored as of their games and trade them in at Funco. This probably fell under ITAR and only recently hit the civilian world, assuming it wasn't leaked out illicitly.

What Snowden did on his last day in town?

There is a guy on a local fb page for retro games selling a copy for $300.

But he just has the game. Nothing to hook up to use with a rifle.

Correction $600 OBF

Neato, but I can't see something like that helping much with accuracy.

I actually played this myself at the Boyscouts National Jamboree.  So long ago, I can't even remember how old I was or what year lol.

Amazing, never heard of it - and I'm sure Ernest Cline didn't either, because he would certainly put that in his book "Armada", it sure fits the main conspiracy plot

It was very accurate actually.  Definitely helped me improve my shot group right before the live fire during Basic Rifle Marksmanship week.  (About week 3/4 in Infantry OSUT/Basic Training).

Medic, that's awesome, wish I could afford it.  By the article though it looks like the rom was dumped?

[BigusSchmuck]

I thought you LITERALLY were shooting at a snes for practicing your shooting skills. lol Didn't know that cart even existed. Cool stuff.

Most likely still sitting in storage (at least on Ft. Benning where I was).  These would have been located at only 4 sites that operate as U.S. Army Basic Training units -   Ft. Benning, Ft. Leonard Wood, Ft. Jackson, and Ft. Knox. 

Ft. Knox has shut down their Basic Training and merged it with Ft. Benning in recent years.  I imagine a box was thrown out with the trash...talk about sitting on gold!  =/
