Name this 80's toy pleeease!

Hi all,

I had a toy when i was a child that i just KNOW my daughter would love but i cant remember the name!

It was square shaped and had hundreds of small tiny bubbles like bits on the screen which when you ran over certain tools that came with the toy (like a long handled spiked circle) it actually pressed these tiny bubbles down and the effect was that the line you had just drawn lit up. I cant remember the name but im really sure its still around.

Please can anyone help me?
