Time Scanner is a pinball game developed by Sega for Sega System 16 hardware. It was released in 1987, with ports to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum by Activision showing up in the following years.

There are four boards in Time Scanner representing different time zones. Each board is split into two sections. The arcade game is controlled using a tiltable panel with two flipper buttons on either side, designed to more closely approximate a real pinball machine.
