In the 3rd port, Namco dropped the Quest mode. This is not a big loss though, because Endurance mode half way makes up for it. Point Blank, known as Gun Bullet ( ガンバレット, Gan Baretto), or Gunvari ( ガンバリ, Ganbari ) in Japan, is a series of light gun shooter games developed by Namco for the arcade, PlayStation and Nintendo DS; the trilogy was first released in arcade in 1994 and was later ported onto the PlayStation.

[10] The stages are incredibly irresistible and fun, luring you into a seemingly endless stream of continues until you either succeed at a challenge or get a red flag for that level and move on to the next. If you fail, you'll lose one life and continue with the set until you're dead. Whether you win or lose a level, you'll get a certain number of points for how hard you tried (or how long you managed to stay alive). Once you finish four levels, you'll get four more until you either die or the difficulty level is complete - at which point, you fight the final battle and disappear into a flurry of fireworks and adulation when you win. If you've got a friend or a group of friends, Point Blank 2 features a wide variety of different play modes. The arcade games are enabled as well as turf wars, tournaments and a team-play option. You can also give certain players handicaps or enable penalties. Up to 8 people can play by alternating Guncons.
