Gee Bee is the first game Namco developed on their own. It's an interesting combination of Breakout and pinball designed by Toru Iwatani, who later created Pac-Man.
It is not an abbreviation of Game Boy.

An alternate set of block graphics are present in the graphics ROM. In this set, the horizontal blocks face up, and the vertical blocks have thinner outlines. They are fully functional as blocks.
These are stored with the block graphics as tiles 4C, 4D, and 4E. They act like blocks when placed on the playing field, disappearing when hit and giving an appropriate amount of points.
