Best. Video game. Ever.
Edited on Sat Aug-05-06 10:00 PM by GirlinContempt
Bravoman, for the TurboGraphix.

Not only are you a bionic superhero who attacks random robots (from the evil Dr Bombs "Robot Corps") with telescopic limbs, but the plot is stellar (Defeat Dr Bombs Robot Corps and stop his 'End of the World' weapon) but the dialogue is AMAZING.
For example:







And, from Wikipedia:
# Dr. Bomb repeatedly makes hilarious or trite statements, such as "I'm a nice grey-haired guy" and, when defeated, repents for having trying conquer the world, and offers as an excuse: "But I was alone, can you understand?", "It's tough to be single."

A post box on stage 3 can also be attacked, and will result in it saying: "OUCHH!!! OUUUCCHHHHH!!!!".

Bravoman constantly shouts "Bravo" each time he performs an attack, something which has gained the game and the character a lot of ridicule.

1. "It's tough to be single."
That's always been my excuse for my attempts at world domination.

Also: NEEEERRRRDDDD!!!

3. What, not even a nod to Zero Wing?
C'mon, you KNOW that's classic dialogue!

But the voice acting in MMX7 is pretty horrible, too.

Remember the E.T. Atari game? I had the misfortune of playing it. Once.

6. Fortunately, I never spent a dime on that game
But we did spend money on the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man. $30 down the drain. What a freakin' rip-off.

8. I have a Pavlovian response to the E.T. Atari game.
Especially the little Reese's Pieces bonus points.

:shudder:

5. Next time somebody annoys me, I'm going to punch him, shout "Bravo!"
And die laughing.

9. I'm currently addicted to Runscape.
It's an online multi-user rpg game. I like the game play, but I hate the prices of everything good in the game being so high. Oh well, I'll work my way to the top and dominate that world. Or at least I'll try.
