Bootleg Shmup?

I was at the arcade Funspot in Newhampshere on the top level with all the awesome 70,s and 80,s games when I noticed a bright red and blue cabinete that I can,t remember the name of it was very bizare because in every odd numbered level you were fighting the Aleins from space invaders in other levels you fight the enemy ships from galaxian. Now I,ve never heard of a Taito Namco crossover shmup so I figured this was an ilegally created cabinet by ether a European or American group or it could be normally produced I,m not sure, does anyone know anything about this unusaul shmup.

Midway was actually distributing both Space Invaders and Galaxian at the time Gorf came out... Besides, I seem to recall everyone and their dog was putting out some sort of Space Invaders clone at the time anyway. Given that Midway's pants never got sued off for it, either nobody really cared or they had the rights for it.
