80's toy help required...

Hello.

Back when I was little, sometime during the 1980's, I had this really cool toy laser gun. The gun itself would make noises and light up, but what made it extra special was that it was connected (via one of those curly, springy cables) to a box that came attached a belt. The box also made noises, and all I can really remember about it is that it had 3 buttons in a row vertically, and each button was backed by a different coloured sticker (I believe red, blue and yellow), and I'm fairly sure that one of them made the noise of a rocket taking off. There may have been a second box on the belt, and there's a possibility of some kind of slide-switch that produced other noises.

Anyone have any idea what this was? I've been ebaying and Googling for over an hour now, and I've turned up cock-all.

Cheers.

Photon? Laser Tag? That's the best I can offer.

What was the name of the laser tag line that had a cartoon attached to it?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't-a friend of mine had some Photon gear but I think that was much later. I'm the only person I know who had one, and I always get met with blank stares when I mention it-I'm starting to think that I've made it up.
