Scanner (Prototype/Unreleased) NES - Gameplay (Tech Demo)
16Scanner was developed by William Novak as a tech demo for Mattel. Collision detection does not always function, and the enemies cannot be destroyed (nor do they attack the player).
Level Select:
Four levels are accessible via pressing Select at the Mission screen: Alien Planet, Space Slime, Starfield, and The Tower. These are all in Sector 00, but it is unknown if there are any other sectors with further levels.
Unplayable Vehicles:
Three vehicles are playable, which can be changed using Select while playing a level: Speeder, Carrier, and Attack Track. Only the last of these has a functioning gun. Another two vehicles are accessible via a code (Custom Code 040F:0X in Mesen).
