It's billed as a living video game. The world's first computerized sport. It's played in an arena filled with mazes of tunnels and walkways. Two teams try to win by zapping opponents or their enemy's goal. A helmet contains radio receivers and signal lights to let everyone know when you have been hit. Your weapon, the Photon Phaser, fires light beams. A computer controls the game. The playing area is heavily padded so no one gets hurt and there are two Game Commanders to kick out anyone who breaks the rules. Games last six to eight minutes and high scores range from 500 to 900. Dallas, Texas has the only one so far but it is due to spread. Fill me in. I'm not a reader on net.games so send direct please.
