Ric [MCSDC2RJG@UK.AC.DCT] mentioned a couple of the games in an earlier letter.
Here are a full list of the games available [as we know it...]

1) Energise 2 
   ----------

	2 lives with 20 shots per life. You are split into 2 teams and have to
	knock out the opposing team and their base.
	Scoring: +200 points if you hit an opposing team member
		 -100 points if you hit a fellow team member
		 -100 points if you get shot [from anyone!!!]
		+1000 points if you hit the opposing teams base
2) Energise 4
   ----------

	Same as Energise 2 except you get 4 lives instead of 2.

3) Solo Energise
   -------------

	Shoot anything that moves or has lights. [and if it's neither of
	them, then it's probably a wall...]. This game is everyone for
	themselves, where you can shoot *anyone* [makes lots of friends]
	and you can shoot *ANY* base. Depending on the game, you may
	either get 2 or 4 lives. This game is *serious* fun if there are
	a large group of you....not to mention the fact that you are always
	on your toes....:-)

4) Solo Stun
   ---------

	This is the same as solo energise, but you have infinite lives. This
	tends to be fun for inexperienced players, but gets boring as you never
	have to energise...

5) Eliminator
   ----------

	Same as Solo Energise, but you are allocated a quota of 'x' lives at
	the start of the game, and cannot get any more. Last person left
	standing is the winner.

6) Supercharge
   -----------

	A team game in the format of Energise. However, only a supercharged
	player may eliminate the base. To become supercharged, you need to
	shoot 5 opposing team members without getting shot yourself. [In the
	Dundee Zone, this is definately NOT easy!!!!]. When you become
	supercharged, your gun is fully re-energised, and the number of shots
	per life doubled i.e. you get 40 shots instead of 20. As Ric said,
	your gun spits out 3 shots every time you pull the trigger, however
	if you hit someone, your gun will automatically stop firing so as not
	to waste shots. Note that once you are supercharged, all the members
	of the opposing team tend to try and shoot you so as to kill of the
	supercharge. This invariably means that you have a life-expectancy of
	a 3 legged hedgehog on a 6 lane motorway.....:-)
	But it's very good fun.


7) Battlefield
   -----------

	This is not really a game on its own, but an option that can be used
	with any of the other games. Basically, when battlefield is switched
	on, some of the packs are taken into the zone by the marshall and
	energised as mines. These packs are then hidden in various places.
	Should you come too close to one of these packs when you are playing
	whatever game, then the pack 'explodes' wiping out one of your lives.
	A mine can be de-activated for a random period by shooting it.
	Note that this can make any game much more interesting. Especially
	when you have sadistic marshalls who do various things with the mines
	such as:-

	i) Placing them in the bases. Makes getting the base *much* harder.
	ii) Placing them in the energiser. Means you have to energise VERY fast.
	iii) Wearing one of them and running after you....
	[we have some really sadistic marshalls]

Anyway, thats about all the games available [that I know of].
Here's a list of some of the sites that I know of....

	BEDFORD		TEL:0234 271717
	DUNDEE  	TEL:0382 400414		[our site!!!!]
	NEWPORT 	TEL:0633 276790
	PRESTON 	TEL:0772 884800
	STREATHAM 	TEL:081 678 6007
	CLYDEBANK 	TEL:041 952 3440
	WHITE CITY 	TEL:061 876 5084

Anybody know of anymore?

	Hope this is useful people.
