Akka Arrh / The Sentinel / Target Outpost

 

According to John Salwitz in his 2019 GDC presentation (LINK), Akka Arrh was the original, unofficial name and The Sentinel and Target Outpost were later titles:

"Akka Arrh is an unreleased prototype arcade game made by Atari's Mike Hally and Dave Ralston.  The name Akka Arrh is a play on words for Also Known As Another Ralston Hally production.  The arcade game was shown in 1982 to a small test market.  However, the test-market was unsuccessful as those that played Akka Arrh considered the game to be too difficult.  This caused Atari to cancel Akka Arrh in support of other Atari arcade games at the time."
