''Silent Scope'' is an arcade game series from Konami. It spans 4 games (Silent Scope 1-3 and Silent Scope EX), and the first was released in 1999. The games' most prominent feature is the [[Sniper Rifle]] gun mounted to the cabinet rather than the typical pistol [[Light Gun]] that was used in games like ''[[Time Crisis]]'' or ''[[House of the Dead]]''.

*** "The hostages are our priority partner"
* [[Life Meter]] (In ''EX'', this doubles as your mission timer; you can refill it by looking at beautiful women, clearing missions, and getting [[Boom! Headshot!|headshots]].)
