This is the prototype of Gravitar.
The game has the exact same play as Gravitar, but it is much more difficult. The gravitational pull is a lot stronger and the enemy attacks are relentless. The shapes of the bunkers and planets are different, but the terrain is the same.

The game is housed in a Space Duel cabinet (two speakers at waist level and two seakers under the marquee versus Gravitar's one above and one below) and is a typical Atari prototype cabinet that contains no side art. The control panel and marquee are exactly the same as Gravitar with only the name changed on the header.
