Although 'Zero Point' as a title is intended to paraphrase the idiom "Point Blank" it fails to have this effect. In fact 'Zero Point' is a quantum mechanical term, describing the intrinsic value of a particular quantum property in the absence of external influences.

Bugs:

- When you insert a coin, the credit sound does not play. Pika163 (ID 00938)

- 5th June 2001: Guru - Dumped Zero Point (Unico 1998). It's virtually identical to Namco's Point Blank.
