    There was a video game console that used clear colored plastic that you would stick onto the tv to show different colored areas on the screen. It also came packaged with dice and paper money.

      For a moment I thought you were referring to the genlock anti piracy device. That was a fresnal lens you held up to the screen to decode a key to continue the game.

        Nah. Those were interesting but I much preferred the code wheels and charts, because they were easier to read.

          I can’t believe I didn’t know about that! Heading down a rabbit hole to read about it now. Thank you, friend.
