Sounds kind of like Zaxxon. I remember playing a TRS-80 Color Computer port 
of it and I did, later, learn it was developed by Sega (perhaps my early 
indoctrinstion to Sega?) and that the TRS-80 Color Computer port was from 
the arcade original. The TRS-80 Color Computer port was, actually, a decent 
one.

Was that it: Zaxxon by Sega?
