Game Scope

The Game Scope (ゲームスコープ Gēmu Sukōpu)[1] is a stethoscope-like device used by CR. It is mainly used to detect for the presence of the game illness, though it can also be used for communication with compatible devices (audio only or projecting a video chat), searching for Bugsters like a radar, or as a microscope (when inserted into a computer with a DNA analysis apparatus). The patient bed at CR can also scan for the game illness, and is sometimes used in place of a Game Scope if the patient is already at CR.

To check a patient, a doctor must simply put the Game Scope's earbuds in their ears like a normal stethoscope, then hold the probe end in front of the patient and trigger it (it is seen to work at a decent distance). This will project a holographic screen; a positive diagnosis will display as an icon bouncing around on the image of the patient, a negative diagnosis will show no icon. Each game's Bugster infection registers as a different icon; Bugsters' leveled up reappearances show similar but slightly different variations of their previous icons; Level 30 Bugsters have their full body appear on the display instead of an icon.
