Yep..a horrible 3 black plastic thing which had the viewing *window* in the
middle part :) , i broke mine a few days after geting it (sooo long ago now
i can`t remember exactly). Don`t recall the name of the game it came with
now, Tomahawk i think, some helecopter game along the lines of Gunship.

or LERM that is :)

Which ruled out playing games with colour codes. ;)
