Bravoman (超絶倫人ベラボーマン Chō Zetsurin Jin: Berabōman?, "Super Unequaled Human: Bravoman"), which has also been known as Bioboxer, is a 1988 beat 'em up/horizontal scrolling shooter hybrid arcade game, developed by Now Production and released by Namco for the arcades, only in Japan. It was later ported to the PC Engine in Japan and the TurboGrafx-16 in North America in 1990. This version was also released outside of Japan simply as Bravoman. In 2007, this same version was released on the Wii Virtual Console. The game is described by Namco themselves as a "comical action game", which takes a light and humorous approach to an otherwise trite theme, by using a lot of humorous elements, both graphics, plot and sound-wise, usually ridiculing or parodying stereotypical elements of Japanese tokusatsu and videogames, in a manner similar to that of the Parodius video game series by Konami (which is an anime-style parody of their own Gradius series).
