[games_access] Active scanning

[David Colven]

By no means.  This method of scanning has been around since the early
'80s.  It is usually named user scan or hold down scan and various other
names.  For a more complete guide to scanning please have a look at a
guide I wrote with Simon Judge from Barnsley General Hospital a few
years ago.
