    I'm stickin' to the take home shit, none of hat q-force or quasar or lazar zone commercial stuff (which is really not worthwhile unless you are running a commercial laser tag operation)

    I field tested the take home kits you can buy these days. They all suck. Sorry.

    Yes, I did.

    Background: I played Vultrek (SP) in the bery late 80s. That got bought by the Kelly Bros. and became Laserforce in 90-91. I played there..I worked there. Have their neice on my FB even. Alan Kelly has left the bus. Now its just Len and his misses, whos name escapes me.

    anyways..long story short. The home kits are based on 2nd gen laserforce specs.

    Excuse me? :mad:

    Anyhoo...Is Laser Tag still big news in the US?

    I thought they closed the one down where I live...
    but they hadn't (I googled it.)

    I used to quite like running around shooting lasers...might even go for it again...thanks for sparking a good memory.

    Parallel technology doesn't mean derivative technology.

    It was all derivative. There was only one way to make it work. IR and Radio. Theres only so many ways you can write optimised code.

    None of the LTTO stuff uses radio, it does use IR, but that's like saying that you are being derivative by using wheels.

    it's a convenience issue.

    Starlyte rifles, starbase, all that jazz didn't use radio either.


    did get more false hits than you'd want for a tournament on sunny days.

    Why do I think you haven't even seen LTX gear and are just being a contrary little bitch?
