You may be able to find it under the name 'Artillery' or 'Artillery Duel'.
This is one of those games where there were many, many different versions,
probably because it was so easy to program in BASIC. Most of the versions
I've seen also had wind which could vary in direction and speed, this was so
it wasn't too easy to zero in on the target.
