    Equipment Overview: Q-2000 laser tag equipment utilized a two-handed phaser and vests are either green or red. As quoted from the Q2000 marketing material. ”The Q2000 phaser has a large array of features, including 8 different phaser modes and over 10 additional bonus modes.”

    Historical Overview: Steven Jennings, the founder of Q2000, had established and operated Q-Zar facilities in Spain and in London. He realized that customers were interested in having more game formats. Memp Electronics was incorporated in 1993 as an alternative option for Q-Zar locations to source spare parts for repairs. when Q-Zar dissolved in 1997 Meno Electronics began producing their own laser tag equipment. Quoted from the Meno Electronics website, “Meno Electronics began to collaborate with computer programmers and hardware designers who were designing a software upgrade for existing Q-Zar Systems. Their design known as “Chromaburst” was very impressive but involved repairing a large amount of the original hardware with very expensive equipment. After several meetings and telephone conversations, Rob Voisey and the boys decided to redesign a cost-effective system for Meno Electronics and Q2000 was born. Originally designed as a software upgrade for Q-Zar, it became so popular that Meno Electronics decided to develop and manufacture their own system based on the Q2000 software.”

    A partnership between Meno Electronics and Quasar Elite in Harlow, Essex, UK was announced in December 2016 with the intention being for Meno Electronics to provide support and service for Quasar Elite operators. A press release issued by Meno stated “Steven Jennings founded Meno in 1992, originally to support and service Quasar Centres before moving on to manufacturing Q2000 Laser Tag systems. Steven Jennings is delighted that Meno has come full circle!”
