It's pretty much this, but with the black cable splitting in two at the end - one part for the Joystick port, the other for the extension port.

Ah, looks like a rebranded Cheeta Defender lightgun, which Commodore stuck with their "Light Fantastic" pack back in 1989/90. :)

Thanks but i'm against arms :wink:

PS: Really, I've denied my parent to buy gun toys or similar for my children, maybe i'm excessive but there are so many toys for children, i don't think that guns are the better choice.

Not even a cute little "My First Tank" or "Warren the Warhead" in plush? :-P

The rifle is ridiculous! Who needs something that big to aim at a tiny screen?

I won the above ebay auction for a very low price, looking forward to trying it out on the old CRT TV in the corner.

Jeff, I will let you know about the accuracy of the rifle vs pistol, the telescopic sight should help ;-)

I always thought Stack made some cool stuff but very expensive. £29.95 was a lot of cash in 1984.

Retro fun at £3 + p&p
