The zenith of awesomeness: let me show you it.
You think my generation grew up soft, Michele?
This things shot LASERS.
You heard me.
LAY. ZERS.
You can’t cut a tank in half with a lawn dart.

I loved Photon. I know that the conventional wisdom was that Laser Tag was cooler, but Photon was so awesome that it even had it’s own arena in Ocean City, MD. I was so mad the first year we went because I wasn’t tall enough, but it was still there the second year.

And this was in the late 80s, before the proliferation of Laser Tag like places in the late 90s.

My brother and I had the guns and the helmet and chest pack. I seem to recall the helmet didn’t offer much protection from getting walloped in the head, but then we were never ones to follow the instructions with stuff like that.
