A BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Laser-Run is a Laser Rifle Battle Arena, these arena's are generally known as "Laser Tag Arena's", where the competitors wear vests with built in Laser Detectors and carry plastic guns which emit a harmless "Laser" light. When a beam of light from the gun hits one of the detectors in a vest, the built in lights on the vest go solid to inform all participants that that player is temporarily out of the game, at the same time the "hit" players weapon is disabled. After a short period of time, both vest and weapon return to normal and the player can rejoin the game.

THE BEGINNINGS OF LASER TAG

1977 - The first Laser-Tag environment was thought up by George Carter III, after watching the Millennium Falcon battle scene in Star Wars (A New Hope).

Though not there yet, Laser Tag is still growing world wide.

1982 - Research and Development for Photon started.

1984 - The first Photon Laser Tag Arena opened in Dallas, Texas in March.

1988 - Laserforce is opened in Australia, this is a Laser-Tag arena and is now the longest running arena, still operating today. Laserforce as a company, go on to make there own equipment and become a big player in the manufacture and distribution of Laser-Tag equipment.
