Was this ever an arcade or just computer based?

I remember vividly playing this game as a kid on the apple IIe but not sure if it was ever in an arcade. Can't remember the name of it but hopefully my description does it enough justice to jog somebodies memory. The game I guess it would most resemble is missile command.

You had a single gun in the bottom center of the screen that could shoot a barrage of bullets. Plains would fly over and men would parachute out. If you didnt shoot them before landing they would run over to your gun which was on a raised platform. If too many men landed they would prop each other up to eventually get to and destroy your gun.

Would love to find out the name and put it on my want list if it actually is an arcade. Thanks in advance for the help
 
I remember this exact game… I played it on the PC, though. It was called Paratrooper on the PC, looks like Sabotage was the Apple version.

Don't recall seeing a coin-op version of this style of game, but it was super fun.
 
I remember playing that one. I still have my IIe & IIc. I remember playing these favorites:

There's a great emulator I use called applewin for the pc, and cAndy Apple for my android phone. they play everything and work great.

Anyone else remember these classics?
I still play some of the old SSI wargames still.

I remember playing one similar on an early mac
Black and white, stick men sounds right
Main difference was your base was on the bottom left, not centered
