The SCC was intended as a companion to improve the quality of sound in a lot of MSX games including Metal Gear 2, Salamander, and even the MSX version of Contra. The SCC was later succeeded by the SCC+ (052539, 2312P001) — where the waveform sharing "bug" was fixed by adding more RAM to the chip — and included as a lone sound cartridge with Snatcher (which was distributed on floppy disks).
