Photon was a lasertag arena franchise in the early-mid 80s. Photon also came out with a home version, and there was a tie in tv show also called Photon.

George Carter built the first Photon center in Dallas, Texas, in 1984 and the game rapidly spread throughout the US.

While primitive compared to technology today, Photon was one of the first video game-like experiences that one could play in the real world. The arenas featured multiple levels, catwalks, and an observation deck from which people not participating could practice by shooting players. Those shots did not affect the game in any way at most arenas. Players joined either a red or green team, and played in a Tron-like setting.

While no arenas are left from the 80s, http://www.xplasersport.com/Photon.htm offers an arena which is built in the style of the 80s, and still offers occasional games utilizing the old equipment.
