Bravoman

File:Beraboh Man marquee.png

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 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.
