I love playing Laser Tag. I really miss “Laser Quest” which used to be in the Fairlawn area of Akron Ohio, because it was the dopest Laser Tag place I had ever been. I remember when it arrived back in 1996, and I went plenty in High School, and as soon as my kids were old enough to handle it I brought them there!
Laser Quest was great because of the way you could operate in the game. There were really two tactics that worked well. You could either;
- Find a hidden corner in the black light lit, multi level maze that had a very high visibility. Then, patiently wait for people’s little glowing laser packs to show themselves, picking them off while they didn’t know what him em’. Or,
- You could be ultra aggressive, move quickly, and walk right up to people over and over again, picking them off while dodging their counter-attacks.
I tended, no surprise to those of you who know me, to go for the ultra aggressive option two, and it worked well. I would often get first or second place depending on who else was playing the game.
But once and a while, I’d get beat by one of those kats who did option number one really well, sitting like a sleuth lil laser sniper in a corner and just waiting to pick folks off while never being found.
