It was designed for the game Laser Invasion, but works with any game compatible with the NES Zapper.[2][3] In the United States, Laser Invasion came with a coupon for a $5 discount for the LaserScope.[4]
It is voice-activated, firing a shot whenever the wearer says "fire" (although some reviewers criticized its ability to do so[2][5]). The headset also includes an eyepiece with a crosshair that sits in front of the wearer's right eye.[6]
The LaserScope is powered through the audio port of the NES, allowing it to function as headphones for the NES.[6]
The LaserScope received negative reviews for its poor microphone technology; users complained that saying anything into the microphone would cause the LaserScope to fire, including background noise.[2][5]
