What were long, flat point and shoot film cameras called?


How do you call that kind of cameras like below?


I am trying to find what was my first camera (brand/model) but my memory is weak. All I can remember is that it had the same shape than the one on the picture, it was small, black, had a big round red button on top to release the shutter and you had to do a kind of "shotgun reloading" movement to advance the film.


Any help on finding what it was would be much appreciated!
