Over the past year, I have been a regular feature at Zap Zone. I play there every 1-2 weeks. I have a membership there. My codename is Lord Kronos ( hence my email address: LdKronos@umd.umich.edu ) , so if you ever play there & see the name Lord Kronos on your score sheet, then you can be proud enough to say you played Laser Tag with me. Hopefully, my score will be higher.
I kicked some ass in February '97, and brought up 2 of my high scores, as well as my average.In April '97, I did it again and brought up another high score, and it is also my all time high score for any style of game! In May '97, I only went there once (preoccupied with better places to play), was plagued by equipment problems (as usual) and brought down my average accuracy. However, they redesigned the maze, so it was at least semi-fun.

Recently, I have discovered several other laser tag center in the area (I got the info from ILTA, The International Laser Tag Association). I have checked out 4 other places. Two of them I didn't particularly like, and one of them was good, but a little too far to drive. However, I did find one in particular that was really fun and very close.
Laser Force in Taylor, Michigan has quickly become my favorite place to play. I picked up a membership there. My codename there is also Lord Kronos.
