supakoopa, I guess I'm lucky not to have experienced that first horror story. When I was younger, we had gotten the Nintendo Power issue with Super Mario Allstars (Lost Levels Havoc). Well, on page 102, in the Now Playing section, it had a preview for --guess what-- Yoshi's Safari! Well, it looked pretty interesting, but I don't know why I didn't tell Mom about it. Turned out to be a good thing. I had never heard of the Super Scope back then, and I didn't see the part about it in the preview either. I don't know how long it took me to learn about that bazooka -- I think I've only known about for less than a year, at most 2 or 3 years. So it must've taken me at least 5 years to learn about it! It was truly a blessing to not have told Mom; otherwise one of three things would've happened:
a. We would buy the game, and have the same horror story that supakoopa did;
b. We would see the Super Scope logo and realize it would require what we did not have, and not buy it, leading to embarassment for me;
c. We would've bought it and the Scope, and I'd have at least two more games -- Yoshi's Safari and the included Super Scope 6 Pak, and I wouldn't have room in my games compartment for the great puzzles like Wario's Woods and Tetris Attack!
So you see, I was lucky.
