Bomb Bee

1979 1-2 Players 63% Not Rated

Bomb Bee is the first sequel to Gee Bee. Just like the predecessor it's a variant of Breakout with some elements of pinball added. The game looks and plays similarly to the original with the player using a rotary joystick to control two paddles left and right. Points are scored by hitting bricks as well as bumpers, spinners and drops. By clearing out bricks on the side of the screen the value of the bumpers will increase from 10 to 100. By clearing out the bricks on the top a bumper worth 1000 points will appear. Hitting this one several times will cause it to explode and a new set of bricks will appear. The main difference from Gee Bee is the design of the table with different placements of bricks and bumpers.
