Lazertag looks like I wanted it to look when I was a kid

This shot of the Lazertag Multiplayer Battle System, $80 from Amazon, looks so cool that I might need to get me some. The new guns have recoil and rumble as well as a shot blast system for simulating a shotgun. As John Brownlee points out, a lot of us 80s kids never got to play Lazertag because a police officer shot a kit who was playing it in the dark. I suspect that the story was urban legend, but it scarred a lot of souls.
The game is pretty simple, obviously - you shoot at other people’s sensors and they die when they run out of hits. There’s even a manual reload mode for realistic Halo-esque fumbling with your gun.

Nice post John…Lazertag was easily the coolest thing to come out of the ’80s….well at least right up there with Menudo and Jordache jeans.
Remember this commercial…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05civc5PfUI&feature=related
I suggest a CrunchGear LazerTag tournament live from the floor of CES. We could all hunt Scoble….

I was stuck with the generic version when I was a kid.
It sucked.
I couldn’t stand those, stuck up, name brand Lazertag kids.
