Need someone to identify a game.

Guys, in the early 80s around the time phoenix arcade was out I played a game that played like asteroids but it wasn't a vector game. It was in full color. You moved a space ship in the middle of the screen and you could move around. With one press of the button you could have flip 180 deg. Also key clue, in later level enemies looked like TV sets (like TV with an antenna). Does anyone have any idea what the name of the game was?

Very good guess but my arcade was made earlier and there is no TV looking enemies.

Of the top of my head .... the only other game I can think of that has 180 degree turns and a ship in the middle of the screen is Time Pilot and its clones, and the only game I can remember with enemies that look like "TV sets with pop up antennas" is an ancient Apple ][ game called Genetic Drift ....
Anyway, will keep thinking on the back burner ....

What about Exidy's Victory and Victor Banana? They allow the ship to face any direction.
