Okay, as an owner and user of a superscope (and yoshi's safari), mine came with a complete set. First of all, you need to load it up with 6 batteries, flip the switch to Turbo, and make sure everything is connected. Plug the reciever into controller port 2, and put it right above your tv. The super scope will not work with old tv's, as it is infra-red. If your tv does not use a remote, the super scope won't work, as remote controls use the same function as the super scope.
