Tank Paintball Battles

You take it in turns as part of a three-man crew to negotiate a tricky tank course set in a World War II bombing range. Your tank of choice will be a unique 17 tonne FV432 armoured personnel carrier, with specially modified cannons capable of firing 40mm paint rounds. Under the guidance of your on-board instructor you will get the opportunity to drive the tank, aim the cannon, load the breach and fire the air powered cannon. Also to get you into your role as an artillery man (or woman!) you have to look the part, so you will be issued with radio headsets, Kevlar helmets, tank suits and gloves! Once you are able to successfully operate the tank, the hatches are closed and you are free to engage in full on armoured warfare against an opposing team using only your periscopes to guide you!

Powerizers - M90

Run faster, jump higher, move further... embrace the power of gravitational energy with super-charged Powerizers!

Powerizers have curved springs attached to the base, so when you press your feet downwards, the pressure of your weight creates gravitational energy.

These super-charged springs push back to harness this energy, giving you the ability to jump to incredible heights and run with huge strides at amazing speeds.

Powerizers simply use the natural gravitational forces created through any movement. It really is a natural high, in more ways than one!

Infrared Micro Tanks

When it comes to micro battling, look no further. With real tracks, swivelling turrets, infra red guns and great action sound (through the handset) whether you're trundling along with a US Abrams, or rumbling towards your enemy with the German Leopard 2, you're about to start a game of micro-warfare that'll have you well and truly hooked.

Each tank is able to 'fire' an infra red beam, and every time it fires, it has a deeply cool little jump-back recoil. If you're unfortunate enough to be 'hit' by another tank, the light on the turret will blink, and your tank will freak out, spinning crazily in a circle. You only have five lives before your tank is disabled in battle, so watch out.

The Brick

The Brick is an astonishingly realistic looking house-brick made of foam. TV is nowadays so riddled with complete and utter tosh that it's almost impossible to watch it for long without wanting to throw something at it.
