Bomb Bee

Bomb Bee is the first sequel to Gee Bee, combining Breakout-style gameplay with pinball elements. Released in 1978 by Namco, it has the player use a rotary joystick to control two paddles positioned on the left and right.

Points are awarded for hitting bricks, bumpers, spinners, and drops. Clearing bricks along the sides increases bumper values from 10 to 100, while clearing the bricks at the top reveals a 1,000-point bumper. Hitting this bumper several times makes it explode and causes a new set of bricks to appear.

The main difference from Gee Bee is the table design, with revised placements for the bricks and bumpers.
