Every summer when we were kids our parents would take my brother and I away on a boat and we would cruise round Devon and Cornwall. Loads of gorgeous beaches, fishing, adventure parks and yummy food so we were always in heaven!

One summer it was the wettest summer on history and there was literally nothing to do. Little bro and I would occasionally put on too-big yellow waterproof jackets and go try and catch prawns or the occasional crab but it was SO wet we often just got cold and ended up fighting.

One day we arrived in the harbour of Torquay which compared to the tiny places we had been moored in, seemed like a huge city! Greg and I were ecstatic and quickly got the parents to take us exploring the town. We soon discovered Mecca. A huge entertainment center with bowling and this new thing - QUASAR! Dark, labrynth of a room with loud music, dry ice and everyone armed with lazer guns. We were hooked. We must have played 3 times a day for 2 weeks. 

One song was a regular feature in that dark heaven and it was this. It just fitted the game so well as it sounded, back then, slightly futuristic and as you were running around what essentially could have been a nightclub it fitted really well. Dancing and firing lazer beams at the same time - too much fun.

Plus I always used to beat everyone.
