My friend and I used to play this early 80's arcade game back in the day. I can't for the life of me remember it's name. Hoping someone here can help.

I remember it was a vector game. It was sort of a combination of Battlezone and Space Fury. It was in 3D like battlezone -- you moved around a 3D maze and shot at enemies. I remember the maze/arena was circular. But it sort of was like Space Fury, in that there was this big vector head that would appear during attract and taunt you to play the game -- had a creepy digitized voice -- saying stuff like "do you think you can beat me?" and "play if you dare earthling". The head was a wireframe, sort of like the MCP from Tron. The controller was interesting, it sorta looked like a gun.

Anyhow I'm drawing a total blank about the name of this game. It was kind of a big deal to me at the time (personal reasons). Would like to know if anyone else remembers it or has ever played it.

For some reason I remember the game was called Battle Maze or Battle Arena or something like that (maybe just "Battle"?)... but I can't find any record of it online.
