Just got this delivered from ebay yesterday. Great price too. Only 40 bucks!

I had 2 Photon guns as a kid. My brother and I would play and it was fun. As a lot of things, we got rid of them a while ago. I recently saw a laser tag set on amazon and thought "id rather have my old photon guns"....so here we are. Ha! I was happy to get the full set because we only had the guns as stated before. I always wanted the full set after seeing it in the movie Big with Tom Hanks. He is seen playing it in the toy store just before the famous floor piano scene.

Anyone else have these?
 
Sadly, no. It appears similar to the tech used for the interactive TV series Captain Power.

J. Michael Straczynski wrote that series. It was pretty good.
 
This is not an encouragement to buy this, but it seems similar.

I love old toys and stuff. The names were so corny sometimes but we still loved it.

I am CAPTAIN POWER!! Here with Sergeant STRONG and Lieutenant FORCE
 
Im actually looking for the manuals for this stuff. It isn't hard to figure out, but maybe it has something illustrated about the product that I did not realize.

Lazer tag @Schusler ! Photons competetor :)
 
Dang.
Same for me. My brother and I got those sets for Xmas in the 80s. They were steeply discounted at the local Ames Dept Store and those boxes were MASSIVE!

Fun times!
