It was designed for the game Laser Invasion (known as Gun Sight in Japan), but works with any game compatible with the NES Zapper.{{cite web|last1=Ewalt|first1=David M.|title=The Konami LaserScope|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidewalt/2012/05/29/the-konami-laserscope/|website=Forbes|accessdate=15 November 2014|date=May 29, 2012}}{{cite news|title=Blizzard of improved products unveiled at electronics show|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Y69dAAAAIBAJ&sjid=q10NAAAAIBAJ&pg=1243%2C478657|accessdate=15 November 2014|agency=AP|publisher=Observer-Reporter|date=June 2, 1990}} In the United States, Laser Invasion came with a coupon for a $5 discount for the LaserScope.{{cite web |author1=Link |title=NES Nintendo Konami Laserscope Headset |url=http://www.gamesniped.com/2009/08/07/nes-nintendo-konami-laserscope-headset/ |website=gameSniped.com |date=August 7, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090817014211/http://www.gamesniped.com/2009/08/07/nes-nintendo-konami-laserscope-headset/ |archive-date=August 17, 2009}}

It is voice-activated, firing a shot whenever the wearer says "fire" (although some reviewers criticized its ability to do so). The headset also includes an eyepiece with a crosshair that sits in front of the wearer's right eye.{{cite web|author1=-RoG-|title=The Konami LaserScope!|url=http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/nes/7.php|website=I-Mockery|accessdate=15 November 2014}}
