The World's Best Laser Tag System Just Got Better with Exciting New Software and Features

Below, you'll find a list of some of the new features in the LT-11.5 hardware and software upgrade. This upgrade is a significant enhancement of the LT-11 laser tag game system. Upgrade will require a hardware upgrade that can be completed locally.

1) Three New CHIPS Modes - Improve your marketing efforts and separate your game play from the competition.

Bonus Mode: Players can increase their scores when in bonus mode. The bonus mode applies a multiplier to every scoring opportunity. Player tags and base hits can be worth 150%, 200% or more. It's an easy mode to play and understand.

Spy Mode: Wouldn't it be great to sneak over to the other team's base area wearing their 'colors?' In spy mode, players can. While in spy mode, a players lights switch to the other team's color. But, the spy is only pretending to be on the other team. In spy mode, a player can tag the opposing team's base or other players. The spy's true color only shows briefly while the player is firing his phaser. Player's on the spy's team won't lose points if they accidently tag the spy. But, like all modes, this one will only last for a limited time.

Invisible Mode: When you enter into invisible mode, all pack lights go out for a limited time. Your team colors will flash only when someone tags you. But, watch out! Being invisible doesn't mean you can't be tagged.

2) Multiple Simultaneous Modes - Mix and match all the coolest modes.

With the LASERTRON 11.5 Software and Hardware upgrade, your players will be able to play multiple modes simultaneously. Currently, LASERTRON game formats are limited to having a single mode operating during the specified time. With this new feature, players may receive different modes from the computer. For instance, some players may be selected to be deactivator and others energizer. They'll all be out tagging each other at the same time.

This new feature dramatically sets LASERTRON apart from other systems, creating a new game environment that is even more random, but built on the same CHIPS modes your players are already familiar with.

3) Modes for Shields Recharge Format - Bring modes to a whole new game format with no recharging required.

Recharge game formats enhance game play by moving players around your arena and encouraging offensive and defensive game styles. But, sometimes the arena or the players make our recharge games impractical. Since modes are designed to work with recharge game formats, moving away from the traditional sports recharge format used to mean leaving all modes behind.

With our new shields recharge modes, you can have the best of both worlds. When players play in Shields Recharge game mode, their packs recharge right on the field instead of requiring players to walk to rechargers. We've had the Shields Recharge game format for some time, but with the 11.5 Upgrade, we've merged our popular modes into the Shields Recharge format for a new game experience. Have fun with Virus or Freeze Ray without having to recharge.

These games may be practical in smaller arenas, unusually shaped arenas or with younger players. Ask your LASERTRON Sales Advisor how running Shields Recharge games could enhance your facility.

4) More Play-By-Play, Announcements, and Sound Effects - An intelligent system gets even smarter.

When we designed the advanced LT-11 laser Tag Game System, we built in extra storage space for additional sound on both the packs and throughout the arena. The LT-11.5 will take advantage of this increased space with a variety of sound effects including:

More Recognition Opportunities: Players love to be recognized and the LT-11.5 will idenitify more players than ever before. The upgrade will include opportunities to idenitify guests celebrating their Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Bachelor or Bachelorette parties, Graudates and Honored Guests.

More Random Play-by-Play Announcements: Everyone loves to know how well their team is doing in the game. With our enhanced play-by-play announcements, all players will receive more information without having to check scores. In addition to existing team scoring notifications, these new play-by-play announcements will recognize multiple situations and comment on them as they occur.

Pack Level Tips and Help: Some players need extra help playing laser tag and the LT-11.5 upgrade can give them vocal information to improve their play. For instance, if a player doesn't remember to head back to the recharger, a voice on their pack will remind them to recharge. If they are attempting to fire their phaser repeatedly without holding the red buttons, a voice will instruct them on how to operate their phaser.

5) One-Handed Play by Pack - Help out physically-challenged players with one button.

LASERTRON has provided one-handed play for many years. Now with the LT-11.5 upgrade, any individual pack can be assigned as a one-handed phaser.

6) Basic and Advanced Game Creation Screens - Creating new games is easier than ever before.

LASERTRON LT-11 Game Creation gave you a lot of choices. With all the variables you can set on your game computer, you could create thousands of possible games. Of course, sometimes, you just need to make a simple change to a game format. All the options could be daunting, especially to new managers or employees.

The LT-11.5 upgrade will have two levels of game creation, basic and advanced. If you want to create and modify games just like before, use the advanced creator. This advanced system will allow you to change every possible variable in the LT-11 Game System. But, if you need a quick change, such as game time or just what modes are being played, use the basic creator. The basic system will assume a lot of defaults so you don't have to look at several pages or screens to change the simple stuff.

7) Lock In Team Selection and Switch Teams Between Games of a Session - Make sure your games are as fair as possible.

Force players to play for a particular team before you start the game. Prevent players from sneaking over to the other side of the field and disrupting your team setup. And, if teams are unfair, you can easily switch individual players to an opposing team during a session. Other players will remain locked to their team's color.

8) Switch Teams During the Game - Exciting new game format option.

If you can switch teams between games, why not switch teams during a game? The ability to have a player switch teams during a game opens up exciting new possibilities for games including formats like "vampire", where players from one team are slowly converted over to the other team or "red rover" where players switch to the other team when they are eliminated.

9) Solo Elimination Format - Use the LASERTRON World Championships Solo format at your center.

To determine the best solo player, we created the Solo Elimination format for last year's World Championships. Upgrade to the LT-11.5 and you receive the software to run this format at your location. In solo elimination, every player competes against all other players in an elimination game.

10) New Handicapping Options - Enforce fair and balanced play.

Sometimes, no matter what you do as an operator, there are players in your game ruining the experience for others. LASERTRON already has multiple player handicapping options. The LT-11.5 Upgrade includes an event driven system for handicapping players.

Instead of focusing on overall score, the event driven handicapping system focuses in on specific situations where a player is causing problems. For instance, you can bring an end to players who spend the entire game tagging bases, ruining the game for other players. Or, seek out and find the player who enjoys tagging one individual player the entire game. These are situations where one player can totally ruin the experience for another player.

With LT-11.5, these trouble-maker players can be idenitified and the game computer can activate a self-defense mode that sends defensive missles against the problem player.

11) Custom Player Level Set-Ups - New varieties in games.

What if you wanted to play a team of players in free-for-all format versus a team in traditional sport format or have some players on both teams programmed for each format?

The LASERTRON team will be making a variety of these type of games a reality with all new pack-level set-ups. Simply put, this means the limitations of having players in the same format simutaneously are gone. This opens up play to exciting styles of games like 'Vampire', 'Terminator' and many more.

12) More to Come! - We're not quite done yet adding to the LT-11.5.

Look for more enhancements and features before the upgrade is completed by fall, 2006. We'll let you know about more features as we complete them for the upgrade!

With the LT-11.5 upgrade, you'll receive access to special, preset game formats that allow you to extend you games further than ever before.
