You mean one of those bad boys with foldable zoom lens and light attachment that ate like 4 AAA batteries?
I still have one of those here, thing was amazing to play in the dark lol
Comment on The Beamscope TV Magnifier - one of the most worthless game accessories of the 1980s.

I have something like this, but it’s for game boy.
Also utterly worthless, it was distorted in uncomfortable ways, and honestly was a much worse experience than just using the screen.
It’s also only a couple inches bigger, so dumb.

I had one for my Game Gear that added more than few inches to the handheld’s depth, but did a decent job of semi-rectilinearly magnifying the screen. The backlight probably helped, since it wasn’t relying on light bounding in through the lens and then back out.
