I think it's Optima Oblique that's been manually condensed.

Edit: I'm wrong. Close but no cigar.

Patricia: no, I think you were right the first time. It could well be a cheap knockoff of Optima, but no way it's really a different font.

There are two outline fonts in old Adobe Optima files, one hi-res and another low-res. If you can open the font file with Fontographer (maybe with FontLab also, but I've never tried to do this on FontLab) you can generate a "low resolution vector font" that is exactly what you are looking for.
