Okay I reinstalled and read it. : D So the obvious thing I was missing was that SNK is credited with developing and publishing 1979 arcade Yosaku, and scans of the arcade flyer seem to bear out at least the publishing aspect of it. But if they developed it, why credit development to "OLCA CORPORATION" on the title screen? Was it a joke? Were the Orca Corporation people working at SNK at the time?

Ah, some of the comments (Google translated from Japanese) below that one OLCA CORPORATION video (inside), mention that Orca Corporation produced a lot of pirated boards; so this could have been a pirate board by Orca of the SNK original.
