Gameplay:
Ben Bero Beh is a platform arcade game. The player controls a superhero, Dami-chan, though a series of apartment complexes that are on fire in order to save his girlfriend, Nao-chan. To get though the flaming building, Dami-chan is armed with a fire extinguisher that can put out said fires, as well as manipulate stage hazards in order to get through them. Dami-chan can also jump to avoid fall damage from collapsed floors, enemies that appear from time to time out of the apartment doors, and various other hazards. The quicker the player completes the level, the more bonus points the player gets after completing a level. Cameos of characters from various other Taito games also appear to try to halt Dami-chan's progress, such as the enemy spies from Elevator Action, and Chack'n from Chack'n Pop.
