01/10/24: Had a great day fleamarket shopping. Found my usual fun, goodies. My first find was four dvds for $5.00. Then it was a big lot of stuff. The guy with a lot of media was there and for $29 it was all the items in the second pic. Four seasons of Archer, Legend of Korra, South Park and other discs. Two ps2 games, one ps4 game, two ps1 games and a dreamcast one too. And two old toys from the 90s. After this, it was for $6.00: a collectable card game and a Dogman plushie. Followed up by two Demon Slayer manga for $2.00 each. And after that a ps2 Guncon 2 controller for $5.00. Next place, I found some older stuff too. Dvds, VHS and comics, all for $10! I got another forbidden Disney item. A sing-along for Song of the South! And the last thing I bought was Napoleon Dynamite for PSP for $3.00. My first fleamarket find for the year is off to a good start!

‘Point Blank 2′

[PS1] [AUSTRALIA] [MAGAZINE] [1999]

“Point Blank 2 is the sequel to the now classic arcade game Point Blank, which was converted to the PlayStation in 1998. Using the Namco built GunCon (an arcade-like light gun), it offers 70 new shooting galleries, different party modes and a new single-player game.

If you're playing single-player, you have a few options from which to choose. The arcade mode is simply 16 rounds (of either beginner, advanced or insane difficulty) selected randomly from the 70 different shooting galleries. You'll get to shave sheep by shooting off their wool, test your accuracy in one-shot, one-hit bouts and save Dr. Don and Dr. Dan from wacky situations. There is also an endurance mode in which you climb a tall tower to see how far you can get in three tries.

Out is the old single-player role-playing game from the original and in is an action-packed adventure. There are four rides to choose from, each with their own theme (like a haunted house and a submarine). The objective is to gain clues to save the King's daughter. To get new players familiar with the game controls, there is also a practice mode.

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 GunGons.

Point Blank 2 ships in two different packaging formats, one with a GunGon and one without.” ~PlayStation DataCenter

Would it be weird to put on a dating profile that I am looking for someone to play Time Crisis 3 with? Or HOTD 2? Like we don’t have to be fuck buddies but if you have a GunCon 2, I’ll buy pizzas or whatever kind of food, so long as I have someone to play with.

The GunCon[a], known as the G-Con in Europe, is a family of gun peripherals designed by Namco for the PlayStation consoles. The original controllers used traditional light gun technology, while newer controllers use LED tracking technology.

Background[edit]

The first GunCon NPC-103 (G-Con 45 in Europe) was bundled with the PlayStation conversion of Time Crisis. To make the gun affordable to consumers, the force feedback feature of the Time Crisis arcade gun was omitted, and an additional fire button was included in lieu of releasing a pedal controller for the game's ducking mechanic.[1] A second version of the GunCon, known as the GunCon 2 NPC-106 (G-Con 2 in Europe), was bundled with the PlayStation 2 conversion of Time Crisis II and Time Crisis 3. Time Crisis 4 came out for the PlayStation 3 bundled with the GunCon 3 NC-109[2][3][4][5] (G-Con 3 in Europe[6]). In Japan, all three GunCon models were also available for sale as a separate accessory outside of a game bundle.

Prior to the GunCon, the Konami Justifier was the first light gun peripheral for the PlayStation and a few games support it. With the exception of the North American localization of Elemental Gearbolt and Maximum Force,[7] games that support the Justifier are not compatible with the GunCon and vice versa. This was because Namco designed the GunCon so that it would only work with Namco games.[8]Electronic Gaming Monthly's Crispin Boyer said that a Namco public relations representative was shocked when he informed him that he'd tried the GunCon with Maximum Force (not a Namco game) and confirmed that it worked.[8]

Models[edit]

GunCon[edit]

The black GunCon controller for the PlayStation

The GunCon controller (known as G-Con 45 in Europe) uses the cathode ray timing method to determine where the barrel is aimed at on the screen when the trigger is pulled. It features a button below the barrel on either side of the gun (buttons A and B, both performing the same function) for auxiliary in-game control, such as to take cover and reload in Time Crisis. The controller is released in black in Japan, and gray (and eventually, in orange) in both Europe and North America. The controller is compatible with some PlayStation 2 GunCon titles, but is not compatible with PlayStation 3 due to its lack of controller ports. Many games that support it allow the A and B buttons to be swapped, making it comfortable for both right and left-handed players.

GunCon 2[edit]

GunCon 2, Japanese domestic model: a d-pad has been added to the rear of the gun

GunCon 2 (G-Con 2 in Europe) features a smaller body, as well as a more rounded shape when compared with the original GunCon. The side buttons, A and B, have been moved rearward to a position directly above the trigger. Two new smaller buttons, SELECT and START, have been added to the left side of the shaft. Prominent additions to this second GunCon model is a D-pad at the back of the gun barrel and a C button added at the bottom of the gun handle. These new buttons served to open new gameplay opportunities, such as character movement in Dino Stalker or the ability to use two guns at once in Time Crisis II. The gun uses a USB connection as opposed to a PlayStation controller port of the GunCon 1 and also hooks into the video signal of the console (either composite video or the Y signal of component video). The controller is released in black in Japan, blue in Europe, and orange in North America. It is not compatible with original PlayStation titles or PlayStation 3 titles. The GunCon 2, with compatible games, can work on older models of the PlayStation 3 featuring any form of hardware-based PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility.

GunCon 3[edit]

GunCon 3, Japanese domestic model: two analogue sticks have been added to the gun for advanced aiming/movement controls

The GunCon 3 utilizes two infrared LEDs as markers, placed on the left and right sides of the screen. An image sensor in the muzzle tracks the markers as reference points for determining where the gun is pointing on the screen. As opposed to the GunCon and GunCon 2, which are only compatible with CRT-based displays, the GunCon 3 supports a wide variety of display types, including LCD and Plasma.[9]

The GunCon 3 features a 'sub-grip', mounted underneath the barrel and extending to the left side for use with the left hand. On the sub-grip is an analog stick and two shoulder buttons, like in a modern gamepad. At the back end of the gun barrel is another analog stick and two buttons, B1 and B2, underneath. Another two buttons, C1 and C2, are placed along the left side of the barrel. The analog sticks allow the player to play first-person shooting games with manual aiming/firing of the light gun.

In regards to appearance, all Japanese GunCon 3 controllers feature a black coloring, though due to US toy gun laws, the US/PAL release of the GunCon 3 controllers are molded of bright orange plastic. This controller has been criticized for being uncomfortable for left-handed gamers.

Reception[edit]

Electronic Gaming Monthly's four-person 'review crew' gave the original GunCon scores of 7.5, 7.0, 8.0, and 7.5 out of 10. They criticized Namco's decisions to make it compatible only with Namco games and make Namco games incompatible with other light guns, but praised the GunCon's extreme precision and accuracy, in particular when firing near the edge of the screen (a common trouble spot for light guns). Lead reviewer Crispin Boyer was also pleased with the low price of the GunCon/Time Crisis bundle.[8]

Time Crisis 3: (PS2) - This game has always been one of my all time favorites in the arcades but on the PS2 it's like bringing the arcade home! It's ridiculously fun to use the Guncon's, especially when playing 2 player split screen CO-OP. This game has a cool feature where you can system link 2 PS2's with copies of Time Crisis 3 and play on 2 separate TV screens so you can pretty much build your own arcade!These older light gun games only work on oldschool CRT TV's like the Sony Trinitron I'm using! #timecrisis3 #timecrisis #arcade #lightgun #guncon #ps2 #ps4 #ps3 #pcgaming #retrogames #xbox1 #nintendoswitch ##timecrisis2 #crt #trinitron #sony https://www.instagram.com/p/B9-MOL3nvls/?igshid=17r3hpr06tv8m
