This reminds me of that old question: Which one came first, the egg or the chicken? Both were released in 1977 and I really would like to know the answer to this question too. But until now I couldn't find anything about the release date of these two games. I guess that one company stole the idea and game concepts from the other and both versions ended up being released one right after the another. Even the mounted bazooka shape is quite similar!!
As I said before, they are not the same game. The 'mechanics' of the game are the same but the sprites used in the game are very different.
