Thanks!  It looks like you had also found one that sold on ebay back in 2005:

"MIRV by Level-10
This one I remember having also. It was rather simplistic. The idea was like
you had some kind of cannon at the bottom and MIRV's would be shooting from
the sky. Not great, but certainly a piece of history worth having in the
archive.

So apparently the game really did exist, but hasn't crossed over into the Ether yet.  Too bad.  One to keep an eye out for and convert.
