First Facility: Lazer Blaze in Louisville, Kentucky (switched out previous equipment) – October 15, 1999

Equipment Overview: As quoted from a Crystal Entertainment advertisement: “Bodysuit – The whole suit weighs just under 6 lbs. It is similar to the material used in the production of tool bags and heavy-duty canvas.”

“Phaser – the phaser weighs 2 lbs, has two handles and naturally is easier to use with both hands. It is designed to appeal and has a generally futuristic appearance as a phaser and not a gun. The triggers can be configured to require use of both or blanked off to be one. An industry first was that those locations using Crystal had their logo hand painted on the side of each phaser. Crystal also featured radio technology.

Historical Synopsis:  Peter Davies and Simon Willets founded Crystal Entertainment, Inc. in 1999 with headquarters established in Indian Head Beach, FL. The establishment of this company took place following Davies’ resignation from Darklight System, Ltd (he had held the position of Managing Director) and Willetts resignation from Darklight (he had served as Vice President). Darklight System Ltd started liquidating at approximately the same time that the men tendered their resignations. Crystal Entertainment later merged into the Zone Empire on February 23, 2000. P&C Micros acquired Crystal Entertainment, Darkzone Technologies, Inc and Ultrazone Franchising all in the same year (2000), which merged to become Zone Systems, Inc.
