1) Does the old Namco Gcon light gun work with newer games such as Time
Crisis 2 and 3?

2) Does the new Namco Gcon 2 light gun work with older games such as Time
Crisis 1 and Point Blank?

Thanks.

Yes the G-Con 45 will work with some newer games. As far as I know it
works with all the Namco light-gun games (the 7 titles I own at least).
As for other games that I own it won't work with Virtua Cop: Elite
Edition. It will work with Gunfighter II, Endgame and Starsky & Hutch.

The G-Con 2 does not work with PS1 games. As the G-Con 2 uses a USB
connector which requires the software to drive it. Since the PS1 never
had one the PS1 games won't see it.

You can buy third party light-guns that can do all three modes (GCon45,
GCon2 and the older standard of the PS1 used by Konami amongst others).
But if you are going to buy a third party light-gun see if you can find
reviews on it first or try and have a instore demo, otherwise see what
the return policy of the store is like. As I have had problems with
third party light-guns before one particular model I had to return 3
times and decided to pay the extra and go for the Point Blank 2 and G-Con
45 bundle (it was quite a few years back).

I've never had problems with the Namco guns, I have 2 G-Con 45s and 2 G-
Con 2s.

Please note that this is based on Australian releases which looking at
your header you're from the UK so they should be the same.

Thanks for the the info, I think I'll treat myself to 2 Gcons and 2 Gcon2's
then. I want to play the latest Time Crisis, as well as the great Point
Blank games you see.
I did hear that they were going to release Point Blank 1, 2, and 3 as a
compilation for PS2. Any truth in this?

As far as I know it may have been released in Japan I haven't been able to
find much info but I believe it's called Gunbullet Collection or something
along those lines.

One thing I forgot to mention about the G-Con2 is that there seems to be
some problems with 100Hz TVs. As I dont have one myself I don't know what
the exact problems are and if there are workarounds or not.

Also it's probably only worth having 2 of either gun if you plan on playing
two players (since you want to play the Point Blanks I'd say you do). Some
games allow two gun mode but I personally find it rather tiring on the arms
and also a bit difficult to aim both guns properly, but that's just my
experience.
