Rasterscan is a computer game published in 1987 by Mastertronic for several 8-bit formats. It was written by Binary Design Ltd based in Parsonage Gardens, Manchester with the C64 version programmed by Phil Allsopp (aka Sarge).
[edit] Plot
The Rasterscan, a large damaged spacecraft, is drifting uncontrollably towards a nearby star. The Rasterscan can still be controlled and piloted to safety but only by a droid called MSB. Unfortunately, MSB is also damaged and (without help) can only repair toasters. The player needs to control MSB and, hopefully, use it to save the unfortunate spacecraft.
[edit] Gameplay
The player controls MSB, a spherical droid who can float through the interior of the ship in all directions. MSB can interact with the craft's machinery and instruments, which all serve a purpose. It also needs to solve logic-puzzles in order to open doors (different puzzles for each door) to allow it access to more parts of the spacecraft.
