''' | '''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. | |||
