Chakan the Forever Man - Sega Genesis

Chakan the Forever man was one of my favorite Sega Genesis games, even though I got it closer to the end of that era of gaming, at least for myself. It was based off a comic book that I don't think anyone ever read and was known for its punishing difficulty.

Here's some gameplay.

You never died though, you just returned to a central hub since after all you are immortal, having beaten Death in battle. You walked around different levels collecting potions and items that you mixed in order to gain different powers: invisibility, electric swords, invisibility, higher jumping, more life, stop time, portals and so on.

Besides the fact it was hard as heck, the art was pretty good, the story was cool if you bothered to read through it all and it was a pretty long game. I don't know anyone who ever beat it, so if you did, speak up. Either way, do you people remember this game?

There was even a Game Gear version, but I never played it.

A sequel was planned for the Dreamcast, but besides THIS VIDEO there was no other footage of the long since canceled title.

Just got to thinking about this game cause of another topic that came up in another forum I visit. I looked on google to see if anyone had actually ever beasten this game because it was damn near impossible. This is all that really came up funny.

I used to play this game all the time when I was about five or six. It was one of my favorites on Sega Channel and eventually on cart. Sad thing is, I always had to cheat to get anywhere in it ... I actually still have it, but no Genesis.

i had that game years ago, i liked the graphics and the music, but it was way hard and frustrating, i traded it for robocop vs terminator.iwilson1296
