Laser Challenge is currently the most popular
laser tag brand. Some laser tag gear produced by them has been questionable, but there have
been some great ones. Each "series" listed below has differences in it that sets them apart.
Ironically, the Original category will probably contain the oldest, and the newest gear.
The first of the LC line, the original
gear is the second most used, due to it's cheapness and to the fact it can
be more easily found then all the other kinds. On this page, I have all
the oddball gear Toymax came out with including remakes of the old gear.
Toymax tried an attempt at making commercial
arena gear. At first it worked, but all of mine, within two months started
failing. I have done all the repairs I could, but there are still some occasional
problems. Considering I bought this gear fresh of the shelf when it came
out ($120 for a twin pack) it was not worth the money, and even for $10
a twin pack wouldn't be. This gear shouldn't be invested in.
This by far has to be the best "series"
made by Toymax. I currently use this equipment for my league, and have found
it to be quite reliable. Except for some small problems, this gear handles
all sorts of weather/conditions. Alas, it is no longer produced, and can
be hard to come by, most of the time being sold for more then it originally
sold for. I knew I should have stocked up when TRU put it on clearance.
This category includes both Radar Extreme and
Gotcha Extreme. While Radar is much better then Gotcha, they both include the same features
which make them like brother and sister (the brother being the better one ;) ). This gear
uses SEGA Lock-On type technology.
