- TRIVIA -
Released in June 1979.
Upon joining Namco, Mr. Iwatani wanted to design pinball games. Gee Bee, Cutie Q and Bomb Bee were his early video game/pinball hybrids. Toru Iwatani would achieve later, greater fame by designing "Pac-Man".
- SCORING -
Pop Bumpers : 10 or 100 points
Spinner : 10 or 100 points
Green Drops : 10 points
Blue drops : 20, 40, 60 or 80 points
1st row of drops : 10 points
NAMCO lights : 50 points
Big Pop : 1,000 points
Adjustments to scoring :
Finishing red-yellow side drop targets bank puts in barrier to the side drain and increases the pop bumper points on the side cleared.
Finishing blue top drop targets gives you a big 1,000 pop bumper which you have a limited number of hits you can give it before it explodes and gets replaced by another bank of blue drop targets.
Lighting all NAMCO lights increases bonus multiplier to 2X.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Occasionally the ball will get stuck in a very long loop (this usually happens with the pop bumpers). Just sit back and relax while the points rack up, but eventually the game will figure out the ball is stuck and shoot it out in some other direction.
