  • Remember laser tag? The pizza and soda-fueled sweaty birthday parties. The fog-filled, dark room with flashing lights. Since its birth in 1984 with the release of the Photon toy, laser tag evolved into an iconic game. Meet the inventor.
    This Great Big Story was inspired by Origins.

    Star Wars, a cultural phenomenon, my childhood and the inspiration to laser tag, it just gets better and better

    It would have been cool if you explained the differences between photon and laser tag and how each of them work. Interesting video nonetheless

    "the layout had to be semetrical" That's game designer talk. Was this like an early FPS?

      No it's not even close to an FPS because it wasn't first person and it wasn't a shooter. Also that's not game designer talk because he did not design any games. /s

    So, do you make Star Wars movies?
    “No.”
    Your tools must be small!
    “No.”
    Ok?-
    “No.”

    They made it sound like Photon is very different from Laser Tag. But from what they showed, isn't it literally the exact same thing as Laser Tag?

      Kind of like comparing formula 1 to go cart racing. Same concept, but on a bigger scale.

    Fun fact this game didn't make its peak until 1997 but now Sadly this game died in 2020 due to the pandemic

      More like 1987-88. In 1997 there was only one photon open, and it opened in late 1996 after the original in that area closed in 1992, with another original photon lasting till 1995 in Chicago.
      If you were referring to photon, not lasertag as a whole.

      @@k.h.1587 Sure that is a one brand but we used that brand name as part of british language when describing laser tag. We used trademarked names to describe things all of the times.

      @@stealthinator00 I am familiar with the phenomenon, like calling all tissues Kleenex in the states. I just never heard of laserquest being used genetically for lasertag in Brittain. I was very active in the online newsgroup community in the 90s and that wasn't a thing back then. Quasar (Q-zar) megazone (ultrazone/darkzone/zone3/zone empire) and a few others were just as popular in the UK back then and were all referred to as lasertag. You guys also had a pretty big outdoor scene using WOW lazertag back then.
