When you’re growing up in a single-wide in 1986, this kind of thing looks really exciting. Throw in an atmosphere you’ll never be able to recreate, and you have a Christmas winner.  It wasn’t nearly as impressive as the ad, but whatever. I loved Lazer Tag.

I even had the Starbase, which you could program to play in lieu of partners, in case you had no friends or were too lame to share.

Do “futuristic” toys even exist anymore? Or is this the future? If so, where’s Snake Plissken when we need him?
