The product may have been useless, but they had some awesome art for their advertisement!
You needed something to convince gamers it was worth buying. Note the awesome art doesn’t actually give any sort of realistic idea of what the product was like.
That’s a pretty accurate summation of gaming in general in the 80s. The art in the book was nearly always better than the gameplay for lots of games.
Is it a magnifying glass in front of the screen?
Basically, yes.
