Laser tag was inspired by the gun fights of the hit film Star Wars, and launched in 1979. The game consists of two or more teams or opponents who try to hit or tag each other using a laser tag gun. The gun is sophisticated electronic equipment that emits infrared rays. These rays are detected by infrared sensors worn by the players. Once a player is hit by a beam of gun, which is counted as a kill, and the player may need to retire from the game depending on the rules of the game being played. Important equipment is the vest worn by players, but recently the requirement of wearing sensors and vests has been done away with. Laser tag guns that do not require any sensor to be worn are in the market too.
The laser tag guns are much like the normal handguns, except they also contain a LCD screen that is used to display the score of the game in progress. This way the player can keep track of the number of kills made by him. Other type of equipment that is used in laser tag includes energizers and remote control to control the different equipments.
Hasbro's Tiger launches a number of laser tag equipment, including Tiger laser tag guns. The guns come in pairs as part of a single set. They have pre-programmed games built into them, and the player has a choice of more than 10 games.
