@96biggo if you want to waste your money, sure. You'd be better off buying some used LTTO off ebay. I guess if you want a system that actively encourages cheating (team changing mid-game) and other achilles heel problems, buy Light Strike.
BTW: there will be new Lazer Tag brand gear out next fall, that is better than ever, and fully compatible with LTTO and LTX gear.
@96biggo The concept is great, for sure. Execution, not so much. Most attachments are primarily cosmetic, or otherwise useless. Did you know that the "radar" (really just an IR detector with a single flashing light to indicate it saw something) doesn't work for other guns that also have one? So when you're not the only one that has one, it's useless. Everyone will want one if they think it will help, and then it won't help. LOL! But hey, it's your money. Have fun! :)
@laurentmasure44 Only Own the Zone and Respawn games are hosted by the tagger such that the hosting tagger is not also a player. All other games put the host as Player 1, or Team 1 Player 1.
ya i remember i had one of those the orange red one with the scope thing and detector for close enemies good memories but i had the pistol one my bro had the green faster reloader good times
@eliteglitchkr3w What? If you're asking what different features it has, then google for greg's lazer tag page and go to the equipment page to read about all the taggers.
thanks for the video. i am trying to figure out if i should get team ops or the ones in the stores today. how do you host on the new ones or is it only possible with team ops, ps i live in oregon and notice you like transformers to so i have subscribed
@fuyingbro You need a Team Ops tagger to host, but the Phoenix LTX can join an LTTO game. Check out my video about the Phoenix LTX in Detail to learn how, or check out my lazer tag web site.
@ScalextricDigital i didnt see your video but i did see gregs video unless you are greg. and to bad the new phoenix ltx doesnt have the add ons like the one shown. since they dont make them anymore they go for way to much for my funds. i will either get the team ops or the phoenix that are selling in the stores you can get the new ones for 50 bucks for 2 of them. not bad
@fuyingbro LOL! Oops! Yeah, that was me. Forgot I was logged into another account. :) Keep an eye on ebay and craigslist for taggers. You can also find old Team Ops, usually Deluxes, at thrift stores from time to time. I've scored several cheap ones over the years at Goodwill. If you're trying to save money, and there's a Goodwill near you, it's worth stopping in regularly to rifle through the toy bins.
@GregGaub thanks for the info i just got four deluxe guns with googles and cords for 80 bucks on ebay. cant wait till they get here. i will have to check good will and all too that is a good idea
@TrevortheBrutal Nope. The host has the same stats and abilities as the other players. If you noticed that someone called out a rank lower than what the host got, it's because, well... that player really sucked, and got tagged twice as much as they hit, getting them a lower score than the host stayed which didn't get tagged or land tags..
@TrevortheBrutal Ah. I'm not a fan of FPS games. I could never get used to the way you aim in those games. Holding a tagger and looking through a scope is much more natural and fun. :)
@macabron16 Hehe, trust me, plenty of teens and adults play in my club, not just kids. Check out my LTX Basic Training video. That guy is in my club, and comes to every game.
You wanna buy some? Ebay, dude. Also thrift stores, craigslist, garage sales, etc. Amazon too, but they're overpriced.
You plug them into the tagger, put them on, line up the tube so you can look down it using the mirror, and that's it! You should be able to hear the sounds and see the flashing icons.
Then, take it off because it's uncomfortable and never use them again. No one I know uses them.
I can't decide! What do you mean by the Phoenix LTX is a good tagger? You have both LTTO Deluxe and Phoenix LTX. Which one would reeeaaally be the right one to get.
Yes. The official ones are as rare as hens teeth, but you can rig up a variety of scopes to fit on it. I use a red dot scope with a cantilever clamp system made for weaver type rails. All I had to do was make a rut in the scope rail for the clamp bolt to rest in.
Amazing review(s) of this mate... sold me instantly on the product; this reminds me of my days playing laser tag as a kid! The shot blast attachment thing is something I would've loved back then, too!
Of course, stupid Amazon won't ship 'em overseas to me, so I doubt I'll be able to get one. :(
The LTTO Deluxe and IRT-2X don't have hit lights in the dome. The LEDs you see are the IR LEDs for the lock-on, hit confirmation, and hosting/joining/debriefing. Only the LTTO TMB has hit lights in the dome. The LTX has hit lights only, no IR LEDs in the dome.
just thought id let you know that when you get your rank you can push display and get info like how many time a player tagged you and how many times you tagged them ;)
Yes, I knew about that. This video wasn't meant to be a completely detailed video like my Phoenix one, though. This was just meant to show people how easy hosted games are.
Did you know that during a game, you can see the team/player ID of the person to last tag you? During an Own the Zone game, you can see how much zone time you have gathered. On the Deluxe, if you do the right button combo, the screen will say "Let's Roll!" instead of Good Luck. ;-)
Hey! i got the LTTO guns, its great fun, but there is one thing i'd like to set/know.
I want to program into all guns, that players that are just tagged, will be neutralised for a couple of seconds. How can this be set during a normal tag game?
The closest to that are the Own the Zone and Respawn games. In Own the Zone, each tag neutralizes you for 15 seconds. Kind of long for a non-Zone game, and besides, only zone time affects rank. Tags don't count for any score.
In a Respawn game, 10 tags neutralizes the player until they go back to the host to respawn for another ten tags. Also not the same as what you want. Scoring is normal in this game, though.
Thanks for all the help:) i bought 3 team ops taggers, and will hunt for a phoenix ltx set in the future. I have one more question though: in lasergames here we wear a suit that registers tags...is the receiver dome placed on a gun also as good as a suit? Is it sensitive or do you have to fire EXACTLY on the receiver dome? Couldnt see this in any video or review:)
If the person's tagger (and hence the dome) is visible to you, and you are aiming at it, it will take a tag from over 250 feet away, even in the day time.
Yes, if the person turns around or is obstructed by something, and the tagger/dome is blocked, then it won't take a hit. People can quickly be flanked, and good teamwork always includes flanking maneuvers. We allow players to protect the tagger, but they cannot put their hand or anything on the dome while firing. That is cheating.
thats a good way to cheat. but easy to see when someone does that. And when he does, i claim my gun back and wont let him play anymore. I hate cheaters.
Thanks for all the info, you are even replying to a old video like this :) But its a good video, i already watched it 4 times :P
mmmmmh, im wondering if other tagger untis will work together since they dont all have a display. Can i for example use this tagger unit, with a phoenix LTX or a older unit?
Lazer Tag Team Ops and the Phoenix LTX Lazer Tag sets are all compatible.
They are not, however, compatible with older Lazer Tag products, like the ones from the 80s, or the black and purple ones from the late 90s, nor do they work with Laser Challenge or other lesser systems.
alright. correct me when im wrong, but i think it is the most wise to buy a set with all desame kinds of units. Because the Phoenix LTX cannot do as much as the team ops right? the phoenix can only support standard games? So its better to buy for example 3 team ops's, instead of 2 team op's and one phoenix LTX.
Well, one of EACH type (3 diferent LTTO and one LTX) is best, but then people will complain that someone is winning because of their tagger. So, the other option is all the same, in which case you'll want all LTTO so that you can do the cooler games.
But, since LTX can JOIN all LTTO games, you could have just one LTTO, and 3 LTX and still play all the cool games.
thanx very much for the help, and thankyou for your time. after your advice and videos i might try things like LTTO but still... i teally like laserquest. thanks for your time!
most toys don't because LASERs are dangerous. Also, most of the indoor places like LQ only use them for effect. The real "shot" is by IR just like the toys. By the way, I know of a large group in the UK that uses LTTO, and an even bigger one that gets together yearly for some great LARP weekends using lazer tag for conflict resolution
The colors have no bearing on teams or compatibility. When you have big games sometimes it helps to divide the players by tagger color to help remember/identify who is on which team, but it's not necessary. So the answer to your question is, Yes. :)
Yes. Any LTTO, depends on the game you want. The TMB has my favorite, "Survival" (SURC, 2SRV, 3SRV). King games the score is based on tagging the King (P1 on each team). Also the King has no beacon for IFF data.
See my "Lazer Tag Phoenix LTX in Detail" video for how to join a hosted game with a Phoenix.
See my site at ggaub * com for more Lazer Tag info. Also has detailed guide on joining the Phoenix into hosted games.
I prefer the LTTO Deluxe as shown in this video, but it's a personal preference. They both have the same range, but some people think the Phoenix has more. The Phoenix is probably more "fun" with the shot blast and recoil and stuff. LTTO is probably more expensive, 'cus it's out of production and harder to find. When it comes down to it, though, try to get as many as you can, both LTTO and Phoenix. :)
Depends on who you ask, what tagger they're talking about, and what time of day it is. In bright daylight, pistols will get over 250 feet, and the rifle over 600. After the sun sets and into the night, the sensors have less interference to deal with, and so shots count a a greater range, upward of 500 for the pistols, and 1000 for the rifle. some people say they're getting 400 with the Phoenix, but I haven't personally done range testing with it yet. I don't like the scope on it much.
yeah, all are pistols but one. The "rifle" would be the TMB, Tag Master Blaster, from the LTTO line. It's the one that also has a grenade launcher type thing. That has a bigger lens and tighter focus to double the effective range. Most of my hard-core players prefer the TMB.
The more realistic gear tends to be pro/commercial outdoor gear where the cheesiest ones start at $400 per player, and the good stuff starts at $1000 per player.
Most people just paint their gear and call it good, but some have taken the electronics out and put them into airsoft cases. Once you have a good lens assembly, the rest is cake.
That is detailed in my "Lazer Tag Phoenix LTX in Detail" video, toward the end. Please view that, and post any questions you have as a comment on that video. Thanks!
Yes, they are compatible. The LTTO "LTAG" mode and the Phoenix LTX "Solo" mode are the same. Also, Phoenix LTX taggers can join LTTO hosted games. Please see my Lazer Tag Phoenix LTX in Detail video for more information on the Phoenix and its compatibility with LTTO.
I don't have a TMB video planned, but I won't rule out the possibility. Note that I made the hosting video when LTTO was still available, and I made the LTX video right before it came out. At this point, most people who have TMBs already know how to use them.
the taggers shown in this video are not modified. They do everything shown out of the box. What you're seeing is Lazer Tag Team Ops gear. The new Lazer Tag Multiplayer Battle System with the Phoenix LTX is different. Check out my other video for info on that.
great vid, wtg on holding ur cool w/ idiots and haters, btw I used to own the wow lazertag system it ruled but no1 could afford it so you played w/ 3 people lol, i just bought a set of the ltx for my nephew for xmas, and me kinda lol. ps i love arena tag, played airsoft and paintball and never shot over 100 ft.
I'll be honest, I've never played paintball or airsoft. I've fooled around with a paintball marker and an airsoft gun or two, but the projectiles can't overcome the glaring problems those sports have for me. Cheat Prevention.
Ever since playing capguns, I've hated the "I got you!" / "No you didn't!" arguments. Paintball tries, but there's plenty of wiping and "That was last game" crap.
With lazer tag, once you're tagged, there's no denying it. I love that.
For most games, yes, the host is also a player. There are two game types, Own the Zone and Respawn, that turn the host into a "base" type thing. In those games, the host tagger does NOT play, but remains to perform the duties of the base device. For standard team games, though, the host is a player.
Oh My GOD! thank you so much, I've had to wait years to actually play this because I never had a clue what to do, but now because of your tutorial I can play everyday!
Yep! If you let people turn them on before hand, you get too much noise and stuff while you're trying to tell people what the stats and rules are for the game. Sometimes I even make one team join at a time so that there's not as much IR interference. With 24 people joining at the same time, there can be a lot of conflicts. The less conflicts, the faster they can join.
That's the Lazer Tag Team Ops "Virtual Scope" accessory. It came with the Thunder Pack (hit/fire rumble) in an accessory kit that was available in 2005. I bought enough for all my taggers back then. They are as rare as hen's teeth now, though.
The gear shown in this video is no longer being made. It's called Lazer Tag Team Ops, and there are three different taggers in the line. In order to buy some, you'll need to get lucky with a retailer who hasn't sold out of them, or find them on ebay or in thrift stores. Prices can get pretty high sometimes.
Your other option is the upcoming Phoenix LTX from Lazer Tag. It's not as advanced as Team Ops, but it IS compatible with it. Check out the Video Response from me for details on that one.
I have one and we always do either a regular game or custom game since we have no idea what the other one's mean. Do you know what they mean? (like 3TOZ, 2TOZ, OWNZ, 3KNG, 2KNG, HUNT, HDSK, 3TMS, 2TMS)
Alright thanks! I didn't even know you had a wesite until I searched it a couple hours after watching the video. But thanks. Also, thanks for the information of the Halo equipment.
In most cases, "ops" is short for "operations". You might see it used a lot in video games, e.g. "spec ops" which would be short for Special Operations.
That might have been true a year ago, but it's not any more. You can get cheap CRAP laser tag (i.e. Laser Challenge made by Jakks Pacific) for $20 for many stores, but you can't get Lazer Tag Team Ops any more. At least, not unless you're really lucky and have a store near you that managed to not sell them out to the scalpers who see that they can make a huge profit on ebay and amazon now.
But don't worry. The new Lazer Tag model should be out late summer or fall. It will pwn.
The Halo gear is fine if you're a collector of cool looking/sounding Halo stuff, but it's not much for actually playing laser tag with. The toys are bulky and awkward, have low range, the sensor is always getting blocked or hidden, no cheat prevention, and no scoring or even getting tagged out, since it just resets with no respawn counter. If you want to play a real life game of Halo, you should be using LTTO.
hey so i was reading through some of these posts, is it true they are making a newer lazer tag for the summer? if so i am really excited, i own 10 guns myself and we play all the time. just today i bought 4 guns at a yard sale for 25 bucks i was pumped
Yes, they are making new taggers for the summer. Should start appearing in small amounts toward the end of July, and then in larger amounts toward September.
wow that is great news! do you think that the new versions will be compatible with the old ones? becuz right now the old ones are worth alot on ebay and such. so i was thinkin maybe sell em now and buy the new ones later?
You can do that if you want. What I know is that the new ones will be able to join LTTO games, and play in the basic LTAG game with LTTO, but the new stuff does not host games like LTTO. If you want scored games, you'll need at least one LTTO to host them. The new one has a TEAM LTAG game, though, allowing unlimited players per team without friendly fire, but LTTO can't play that game, and there's no scoring.
The Tag Master Blaster has lights that flash when you tag it, but otherwise you can't be entirely sure every time. LTTO has a "hit confirmation" feature, that works much of the time, but is not reliable. When you see your opponent, you just take the shot. The ranks at the end will tell the true story, because every tagger remembers how many times every other opponent hit them.
weasll: I'm guessing you're on the young side. I'm not going to argue with you about things that I know are fact. I've already explained the situation, AND answered your question about the new gear. Please take a few minutes to re-read my previous replies, and give them a few minutes to sink in. Also, I would appreciate it if you would at least TRY to spell words correctly.

People can quickly be flanked, and good teamwork always includes flanking maneuvers. We allow players to protect the tagger, but they cannot put their hand or anything on the dome while firing. That is cheating.

thats a good way to cheat. but easy to see when someone does that. And when he does, i claim my gun back and wont let him play anymore. I hate cheaters.
Thanks for all the info, you are even replying to a old video like this :) But its a good video, i already watched it 4 times :P

mmmmmh, im wondering if other tagger untis will work together since they dont all have a display. Can i for example use this tagger unit, with a phoenix LTX or a older unit?
borgqueenx 2 years ago
Lazer Tag Team Ops and the Phoenix LTX Lazer Tag sets are all compatible.
They are not, however, compatible with older Lazer Tag products, like the ones from the 80s, or the black and purple ones from the late 90s, nor do they work with Laser Challenge or other lesser systems.
GregGaub 2 years ago
alright. correct me when im wrong, but i think it is the most wise to buy a set with all desame kinds of units. Because the Phoenix LTX cannot do as much as the team ops right? the phoenix can only support standard games? So its better to buy for example 3 team ops's, instead of 2 team op's and one phoenix LTX.
is that correct? :)
borgqueenx 2 years ago
Well, one of EACH type (3 diferent LTTO and one LTX) is best, but then people will complain that someone is winning because of their tagger. So, the other option is all the same, in which case you'll want all LTTO so that you can do the cooler games.
But, since LTX can JOIN all LTTO games, you could have just one LTTO, and 3 LTX and still play all the cool games.

by the way, have you got any tips to help me do good at lazer tag?
ryonni123 2 years ago
not for LQ, as I don't play it much. Come to my chat site. I'll put the link in the video description.
GregGaub 2 years ago
thanx very much for the help, and thankyou for your time. after your advice and videos i might try things like LTTO but still... i teally like laserquest. thanks for your time!
ryonni123 2 years ago
Or theres an esier way... just go lazer quest!!!
ryonni123 2 years ago
Easier, yes. More expensive too.
It's also a completely different style of play, so some people might prefer one over the other.
If you prefer LQ, by all means, save up and spend your money there.
If you prefer teamwork, tactical maneuvers, playing outside, not having to pay for every game, longer range, and more, then maybe give LTTO a try.
GregGaub 2 years ago
sorry, I live in england and i probabaly wont be able to buy them. however I once had a lazer tag gamebut it does'nt emmit a lazer.
ryonni123 2 years ago
most toys don't because LASERs are dangerous. Also, most of the indoor places like LQ only use them for effect. The real "shot" is by IR just like the toys. By the way, I know of a large group in the UK that uses LTTO, and an even bigger one that gets together yearly for some great LARP weekends using lazer tag for conflict resolution

Question: Can a green and a brown gun be on the same team and/or play against each other?
Soren948 2 years ago
The colors have no bearing on teams or compatibility. When you have big games sometimes it helps to divide the players by tagger color to help remember/identify who is on which team, but it's not necessary. So the answer to your question is, Yes. :)

deankx 2 years ago
Not the ones in this video, no. LTTO is no longer in production, and can only be found on sites like ebay or whatever. sometimes a thrift store.
The Phoenix LTX set can be found more easily, but not necessarily at retail stores. It's certainly worth looking, though.
GregGaub 2 years ago
Few questions.
I bought the same pistols as shown here. Those are the Deluxe pistols right?
Also what makes a better host? Cause I got the tag master blaster also.
What is a king game?
Do the phoenix work with a host game? If so, how?
jond2614 2 years ago
Yes. Any LTTO, depends on the game you want. The TMB has my favorite, "Survival" (SURC, 2SRV, 3SRV). King games the score is based on tagging the King (P1 on each team). Also the King has no beacon for IFF data.
See my "Lazer Tag Phoenix LTX in Detail" video for how to join a hosted game with a Phoenix.
See my site at ggaub * com for more Lazer Tag info. Also has detailed guide on joining the Phoenix into hosted games.

GregGaub 2 years ago
what is better this or the phoenix? What has more range? What is more fun? What is more expensive
jond2614 2 years ago
I prefer the LTTO Deluxe as shown in this video, but it's a personal preference. They both have the same range, but some people think the Phoenix has more. The Phoenix is probably more "fun" with the shot blast and recoil and stuff. LTTO is probably more expensive, 'cus it's out of production and harder to find. When it comes down to it, though, try to get as many as you can, both LTTO and Phoenix. :)
GregGaub 2 years ago
I heard they have 400 ft and have also heard they have 250 ft. Which one is it?
jond2614 2 years ago
Depends on who you ask, what tagger they're talking about, and what time of day it is. In bright daylight, pistols will get over 250 feet, and the rifle over 600. After the sun sets and into the night, the sensors have less interference to deal with, and so shots count a a greater range, upward of 500 for the pistols, and 1000 for the rifle. some people say they're getting 400 with the Phoenix, but I haven't personally done range testing with it yet. I don't like the scope on it much.
GregGaub 2 years ago
hmmm sounds cool. These are all considered pistols right. what's the name of a good rifle?
jond2614 2 years ago
yeah, all are pistols but one. The "rifle" would be the TMB, Tag Master Blaster, from the LTTO line. It's the one that also has a grenade launcher type thing. That has a bigger lens and tighter focus to double the effective range. Most of my hard-core players prefer the TMB.
GregGaub 2 years ago
thanks. I play airsoft so i am about the realism. Do you know the company that creates those m16 models and all that?
jond2614 2 years ago
The more realistic gear tends to be pro/commercial outdoor gear where the cheesiest ones start at $400 per player, and the good stuff starts at $1000 per player.
Most people just paint their gear and call it good, but some have taken the electronics out and put them into airsoft cases. Once you have a good lens assembly, the rest is cake.

can these old lazer tag guns work with the new guns that u have that u just recently reviewed?
5DYGOGXtrader122 3 years ago
Yes, they are compatible. The LTTO "LTAG" mode and the Phoenix LTX "Solo" mode are the same. Also, Phoenix LTX taggers can join LTTO hosted games. Please see my Lazer Tag Phoenix LTX in Detail video for more information on the Phoenix and its compatibility with LTTO.
GregGaub 3 years ago
thanks very much for the video.
but can u make a video about the tmb?
ryando67 3 years ago
I don't have a TMB video planned, but I won't rule out the possibility. Note that I made the hosting video when LTTO was still available, and I made the LTX video right before it came out. At this point, most people who have TMBs already know how to use them.

great vid, wtg on holding ur cool w/ idiots and haters, btw I used to own the wow lazertag system it ruled but no1 could afford it so you played w/ 3 people lol, i just bought a set of the ltx for my nephew for xmas, and me kinda lol. ps i love arena tag, played airsoft and paintball and never shot over 100 ft.
tcdragon76 3 years ago
Cool! More taggers in the world! :)
I'll be honest, I've never played paintball or airsoft. I've fooled around with a paintball marker and an airsoft gun or two, but the projectiles can't overcome the glaring problems those sports have for me. Cheat Prevention.
Ever since playing capguns, I've hated the "I got you!" / "No you didn't!" arguments. Paintball tries, but there's plenty of wiping and "That was last game" crap.
With lazer tag, once you're tagged, there's no denying it. I love that.

can the host play ???
jeffhardyisazum 3 years ago
For most games, yes, the host is also a player. There are two game types, Own the Zone and Respawn, that turn the host into a "base" type thing. In those games, the host tagger does NOT play, but remains to perform the duties of the base device. For standard team games, though, the host is a player.

ilikepie55901 3 years ago
Yep! If you let people turn them on before hand, you get too much noise and stuff while you're trying to tell people what the stats and rules are for the game. Sometimes I even make one team join at a time so that there's not as much IR interference. With 24 people joining at the same time, there can be a lot of conflicts. The less conflicts, the faster they can join.

That's the Lazer Tag Team Ops "Virtual Scope" accessory. It came with the Thunder Pack (hit/fire rumble) in an accessory kit that was available in 2005. I bought enough for all my taggers back then. They are as rare as hen's teeth now, though.

crazyfishmonkey1 3 years ago
The gear shown in this video is no longer being made. It's called Lazer Tag Team Ops, and there are three different taggers in the line. In order to buy some, you'll need to get lucky with a retailer who hasn't sold out of them, or find them on ebay or in thrift stores. Prices can get pretty high sometimes.
Your other option is the upcoming Phoenix LTX from Lazer Tag. It's not as advanced as Team Ops, but it IS compatible with it. Check out the Video Response from me for details on that one.

Partyhat126 3 years ago
In most cases, "ops" is short for "operations". You might see it used a lot in video games, e.g. "spec ops" which would be short for Special Operations.

you can buy one of these for 20 bucks at target or walmart
bhbhbhlozer 3 years ago
That might have been true a year ago, but it's not any more. You can get cheap CRAP laser tag (i.e. Laser Challenge made by Jakks Pacific) for $20 for many stores, but you can't get Lazer Tag Team Ops any more. At least, not unless you're really lucky and have a store near you that managed to not sell them out to the scalpers who see that they can make a huge profit on ebay and amazon now.
But don't worry. The new Lazer Tag model should be out late summer or fall. It will pwn.
GregGaub 3 years ago
I also head that there is new Halo brand laser tag electronics coming out (I also believe there are some videos on here about it).
piggybankvillan 3 years ago
The Halo gear is fine if you're a collector of cool looking/sounding Halo stuff, but it's not much for actually playing laser tag with. The toys are bulky and awkward, have low range, the sensor is always getting blocked or hidden, no cheat prevention, and no scoring or even getting tagged out, since it just resets with no respawn counter. If you want to play a real life game of Halo, you should be using LTTO.

wow that is great news! do you think that the new versions will be compatible with the old ones? becuz right now the old ones are worth alot on ebay and such. so i was thinkin maybe sell em now and buy the new ones later?
nunchuckjimi 3 years ago
You can do that if you want. What I know is that the new ones will be able to join LTTO games, and play in the basic LTAG game with LTTO, but the new stuff does not host games like LTTO. If you want scored games, you'll need at least one LTTO to host them. The new one has a TEAM LTAG game, though, allowing unlimited players per team without friendly fire, but LTTO can't play that game, and there's no scoring.
GregGaub 3 years ago
how do u know uve hit someone
malinkulasekera69 3 years ago
The Tag Master Blaster has lights that flash when you tag it, but otherwise you can't be entirely sure every time. LTTO has a "hit confirmation" feature, that works much of the time, but is not reliable. When you see your opponent, you just take the shot. The ranks at the end will tell the true story, because every tagger remembers how many times every other opponent hit them.
GregGaub 3 years ago
They still have them on the hasbro website though
