What happens

Lazer Tag Academy is an animated television series inspired by Worlds of Wonder's Lazer Tag (their branded version of the pursuit game referred to generically as "laser tag") that was created by Ruby-Spears Productions. Original episodes aired on NBC from September 13 to December 6, 1986 with reruns lasting until August 22, 1987. It was later shown in reruns under the new title Lazer Patrol on the Sci Fi Channel as part of Sci Fi Cartoon Quest. Another laser tag related series, DIC Entertainment's live-action Photon series aired the same year in syndication. The show contains numerous popular culture references, from the Man in the Iron Mask to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
