Do any of you remember this glorious series? I LOVED the Point Blank series as a child. I would replay them constantly along with Time Crisis on the weekends that I managed to rent out the lightgun for my PS1. It still remains one of my fondest memories. Unfortunately the lightgun no longer works on modern TVs. You need an old tube tv to get them going. I would love for the developers to go back to these type of games again sometime in the future.

Point Blank, also known as the Gun Bullet Series (ガンバレットシリーズ Gan Baretto Shirīzu?) in Japan, is a shooting game series by Namco for the Arcade, PlayStation and Nintendo DS. The trilogy was first released in Arcade in 1994 and was later ported to the PlayStation. Point Blank DS was released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS featuring 40 challenges from the original series. Point Blank was the first light-gun game released by Namco.

Point Blank was originally created for the arcades in 1994 but a console version was later made for the PlayStation in 1997. This version included an arrange mode which added an alternate version of Arcade mode, as well as adding many gameplay modes alongside an RPG mode titled Quest. This game was re-created in 1999 as Point Blank 2, adding more mini-stages and replacing Very Hard with Insane. The game was once again re-created in 2001 as Point Blank 3 but was only released for the arcades in Japan and for the PlayStation worldwide.

At the 2006 Game Developers Conference in San Jose, CA, a Nintendo DS port of the game was announced. The console's stylus and touch screen is used in place of the light gun. The finished game was released in North America on June 13, 2006, two days after the North American release of the Nintendo DS Lite.
