Well it's conjecture at this point but I'm basing it off of:
http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=13739
https://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=137410

and the fact that the game name never appeared in Taito's 1978 Japanese game list this guy compiled (amongst many other games and companies). (Er, I think)

I could maybe still be wrong, but my gut feeling is saying this is all a big misunderstanding on the English-speaking side of things due to an old bootleg/title screen hack.
