'''Gee Bee''' is a series of three pinball-style arcade games that were released by [[Namco]] in the late 1970s; they were designed by Toru Iwatani, who would later go on to create [[Puckman]], [[Pole Position]], and [[Libble Rabble]]. When Iwatani joined up with the company aged 22 in [[1977]], he had originally wanted to design pinball machines for them - but they were not very keen on that idea, so this trilogy of games was their resulting compromise. The first game was released in [[1978]] and licensed to [[Gremlin]] for US manufacture and distribution | '''Gee Bee''' is a series of three pinball-style arcade games that were released by [[Namco]] in the late 1970s; they were designed by Toru Iwatani, who would later go on to create [[Puckman]], [[Pole Position]], and [[Libble Rabble]].
