Released by {{Namco}} in 1988 for arcades and in 1990 for TurboGrafx16, our '''Bravoman''' is a side-scrolling PlatformGame starring a parody of {{Tokusatsu}} and {{Sentai}} as its main protagonist. Our hero was once an average salaryman until he was granted awesome powers by the alien Alpha Man from Planet Alpha, in order to combat the evil Dr. Bomb. Bravoman's main method of attack is to extend his limbs forward to kick or punch at a distance, and he can also turn into a missile-armed submarine for underwater missions. Standing in his way is the good doctor's robot armies, plus [[{{Ninja}} ninja princess Waya-Hime]], [[ThePowerOfRock Heavy Metal Ninja Benjamin]] and [[EvilCounterpart Black Bravoman]], a rival salaryman with his same powers.
