Bomb Bee is the second game in Namco's Breakout-pinball hybrid series. It is not a deadly bee weapon nor a game about nuking insects, fun though that may be(e).

Unused Graphics

A surprising amount for a game this old.

Where am I looking at?!
Have a bunch of arrows. There are west and northwest arrows in the game, but they use different designs than the ones seen here. All the other arrows have no reason to appear in the game.

Now you're trying to mix cards into this?
A complete set of card suits! These could have been used as decoration on the playing field.

V for Vees
A "V" in the style of the NAMCO bonus letters. The possible use for this is unknown, unless they wanted to be Vamco. Or Navco. Or Namvo.

Pufferfish are the bumpers of the sea
Four unused bumper values. The used values for the bumpers are 10, 100, and 1,000.

Nice point values Still okay Mix 'n match
Graphics for three sets of score markers. The first two sets are for three specific values only, while the final set's numbers are designed to be arranged in any number of ways.
