Wasn't published, told to me in private by an individual from the industry
in the know. I'll look up the name of the pizza chain when I get home later
tonight.

I haven't seen it myself. Though it's no secret that most video arcade
games of the 70s already had EM equivalents. A few examples:


Missile Command -  Sega Missile from 1969.  You're launching surface to air
missiles at incoming targets.  Midway also released a clone in '70
called SAMI(Surface
to Air Missile).

Lunar Lander - Bally Space Flight from 1969.
