In the late 80's early 90's there was a device you could use while watching television. From what I remember, this device required some type of subscription and allowed you to play along while watching game shows and sporting events. It was black, had buttons on the sides, and a basic LED screen in the middle with an extendable radio antenna. Does anyone know what this device was? What the name of it was?

WebTV let you play along with some game shows, but that was ten years later.

There was something called the "Interactive Game Network" in 1989-90 that sounds like this. More here and here.
