'''Bravoman''' (the complete Japanese title: '''Chouzetsurinjin Bravoman''', '''''超絶倫人ベラボーマン''''', literally ''Chōzetsurinjin Berabōman'') is a [[beat 'em up]] (and horizontal scrolling [[shooter]]) arcade game, that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1988]] only in Japan; it runs on Namco System 1 hardware and was later ported to the United States [[TurboGrafx-16]] in [[1990]] (this version of the game was also later rereleased on the [[Nintendo Wii]]'s [[Wii Virtual Console|Virtual Console]], in [[2007]], and described by Namco as a "comical action game"). It was also the only game from the company to utilise pressure-sensitive buttons upon its control panel, and the first of what would only be three Japan-exclusive 16-bit games from them after [[1987]]'s [[Blazer]] that did not feature a "legal notice" saying that the game is for use in Japan only on startup - the other two are [[Bakutotsu Kijuutei]] (which was released later in 1988) and [[Four Trax]] (which was released in [[1989]]).
'''Beraboh Man''' (complete Japanese title: '''Chouzetsurinjin Beraboh Man'''), is a [[beat 'em up]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1988]] only in Japan. It runs on Namco System 1 hardware, and was later ported to the US [[TurboGrafx-16]] under the name of '''Bravoman'''. This version of the game was also released on the [[Wii Virtual Console]] in [[2007]], and described by Namco themselves as a "comical action game" - meaning it takes a humorous approach to the genre by using a lot of comedic elements in the plot, graphics and audio, usually ridiculing or parodying stereotypical elements of Japanese superheroes and fighting games in a manner similar to [[Konami]]'s [[Parodius]] series.

==Story==
 
The game's story starts when a typical Japanese insurance company salaryman (who is a caricature of Namco's founder, Masaya Nakamura) encounters an alien from Planet Alpha, who tells him that an evil scientist named Dr. Bakuda and his army are planning to take over the world. The alien then gives him a metal rod, a tuning fork and a 100-yen coin, which transforms him into a [[wp:Tokusatsu|tokusatsu]] superhero named "Beraboh Man" who must use his bionic limbs to fight Dr. Bakuda's henchmen - and he will not stop until they are defeated and the world is once again safe for humanity.

==Story==
The game's story begins when a typical Japanese insurance company salaryman (who is a caricature of Namco's then-62-year-old founder, [[wp:Masaya Nakamura (businessman)|Masaya Nakamura]], 1925-2017, but his name here was "Aruhi", written in Hiragana as ''あるひ'') sees an alien from the Planet Alpha in the sky, who informs him that an evil scientist named Dr. Bomb (original Japanese name: ''Bakuda-Hakase'', ''爆田博士'') and his army are planning to take over the world; the alien then gives him a metal rod, a tuning fork and a 100-yen coin (the last one being the standard Japanese currency for the operation of arcade cabinets at that time), transforming him into a [[wp:Tokusatsu|tokusatsu]] superhero named "Bravoman", who must use his extendable bionic limbs to fight Dr. Bomb and his henchmen, and he will not stop until they have all been defeated (with the exception of Tekyuu, as they are indestructible) and the world is once again safe for all humanity.
