Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })What do you get when you cross a Light Gun Game with a Minigame Game? Point Blank is an arcade shooter by Namco (creators of the equally popular Light Gun Game Time Crisis). Basically it's a collection of mini-games where you're given a task and a set amount of time, then set loose until the time runs out. Meet the requirements and you stay in the game and move on. Fail, and you lose a life (or more if you shot something you weren't supposed to). The game continues onward until you either reach the last challenge or you run out of lives.And... really, that's about it. The game is more or less a test of the player's shooting abilities: accuracy, speed, rapid-fire, quick thinking, memorization... oh, and all these challenges are accompanied by bizarre, cartoony and colorful visuals.There are four entries in the series that were released for both arcade and the original PlayStation (the console versions having exclusive materials such as a RPG mode or extra challenges). There's also a DS version that, of course, catered to the touch screen; this isn't so much a new version as it just a mishmash of the original three games thrown together. The 2016 reboot Point Blank X will have an HD version of the stages in Point Blank 1-3 plus with new levels to play.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series is also notable for it two mascot characters, Dr. Don and Dr. Dan (who look suspiciously like two certain characters from Sesame Street, hmmmmm).If you're looking for something else that's also called "Point Blank", see the disambiguation page here. | |

Arcade-Perfect Port | |
| Point Blank (Video Game) / int_519e6bb9 | comment |
Arcade-Perfect Port: The port of the first game, along with several extra modes, allows you to boot up a replica of the original arcade mode (only distinguishable by the PlayStation's slight load times). The third game is retooled into the main menu but mostly identical. The second however was modified noticeably, with enhanced sound and graphics and some minigames altered, absent, or replaced with new ones. | |

Balloon-Bursting Bird | |

Balloon-Bursting Bird: One of the shooting mini-games involved protecting Dr. Dan or Dr. Don from vultures, since they were floating on balloons over shark-infested waters. | |

Then comes the final stage, where you try to shoot as many targets as you can to light the Fireworks of Victory. You can't lose a life here, but you'll want to shoot targets for a last-chance scoring opportunity. | |

1-Up | |
| Point Blank (Video Game) / int_c3884cdc | comment |
Halfway through the game, you are presented with an opportunity to get extra points and/or a 1-Up by shooting one of several treasure chests, the contents of each chest not being known until you shoot one of the chests. In Point Blank X, the bonus stage can be in the first part. | |
