What game are these graphics from?

I picked up this little toy at a thrift recently. It's one of those pocket pinball games where you try to flip ballbearings into little plastic cups. What makes it interesting is that the background art seems to have been lifted from a video game. Looks like it might be from a console version of Gorf or Galaxian.

It's driving me crazy because I'm sure I've seen those graphics somewhere before, but I can't remember from what game (it's not Galaxian or Gorf on the 2600 or CV). Anybody here recognize it?

They don't look familiar, but I know they're not from Gorf, Galaxian, or Galaga. It's possible the manufacturer just made them from scratch to LOOK like real game graphics.

They almost look like Atari 5200 style Space Invaders, or perhaps Intellivision Demon Attack.

Well, I'll go out on a limb and say those images aren't from any particular game. However, obviously they are very similar to many "alien" graphics of the time from both home consoles and even handheld games :) (I mean.. how many ways can you draw a flat 2 legged space invader? :P)

Heck the red invaders on the left look similar to the graphics from the handheld Coleco Galaxian tabletop (sans wings?).. but not exactly. :P

They remind me of Space Armada.

Yeah maybe they just designed it in between a few type games so it does not copy any game due to the company not having the license, also this makes sense seeing how the world loves to sue everyone these days.
