Description

source: wikidata1988 platformer/beat-em-up hybrid arcade game

source: wikipedia_enChōzetsurin Jin Bravoman is a 1988 beat 'em up video game developed and published for Japanese arcades by Namco. Described as a "comical action game", the player controls the titular character, a bionic superhero with telescopic limbs, as he must defeat the villainous Dr. Bomb ("Dr. Bakuda" in Japan) before he takes over the world. Bravoman can use his arms, legs and head to defeat enemies, and can also crouch and jump over them. The game runs on the Namco System 1 arcade board. Conceived by Namco composer Norio Nakagata, Bravoman is a homage to 1960s tokusatsu films, parodying common tropes found in the genre, and Nakagata's love for synthesizer music. Many former staff members from Toei Animation were hired for the project, leading to the game's distinct art style influenced by anime. Bravoman's real identity, known as Hitoshi Nakamura, is a caricature of Namco's then-president Masaya Nakamura, whom the game was dedicated to. It is Namco's only video game to use pressure-sensitive buttons, which were reportedly easy to break. Following its initial release, Bravoman was ported to a handful of systems, including the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, Japanese mobile phones, and the Wii Virtu
