I have this disk, and tape. On tape (at least the version I have) it's "Super Invader" and was distributed by Creative Computing. The game itself is identical but the tape version implements a partially-integer-basic menu allowing you to choose either play, demo or exit, whereas the disk version just loops like an arcade game would.

As arcade game clones go, it was particularly faithful to the original, and fun to play. I had one particular epic game as a kid and scored 10,100.
