''Chakan: The Forever Man'' is a Sega Mega Drive, Genesis video game published by Sega of America December 8, 1992. The game featured an uncommonly dark premise for the time of its release, which saw the home console market flooded with licensed platformers based on family-friendly media. It is based upon a comic book by Robert A. Kraus and was produced by Ed Annunziata, who met Chakan's creator at a convention and was impressed. == Plot == The game follows the tale of Chakan, a warrior who was so confident in his martial arts (especially his unmatched swordsmanship) and gifted abilities in sorcery and alchemy, that he declared even Death couldn't best him in battle. Of course, Death appeared and challenged Chakan with a proposition. If Chakan could defeat him, he'd be granted eternal life. However, if Chakan was defeated, he'd become Death's eternal servant. In another side-story, Chakan was so feared by the elders of multiple tribes, they dropped their petty differences and amassed to figure out a way to defeat or contain him, and upon overhearing his boasting, summoned the Grim Reaper themselves, informed the Reaper of his boastings, and contracted him to defeat Chakan. The battle raged on for several days, spells and swords clashed, until the ultimate victor was very clear...Chakan. Because he defeated Death eventually, he was granted his "reward": 〔http://www.rakgraphics.com/chakan/chakbegin.asp〕 Chakan will live forever until he destroys the four supernatural evils of the terrestrial plane (Spider-Queen, Mantis, Elkenrod, and Dragonfly King) and the elemental plane (Parasite, Tundra Beast, the Last Dragon and the Leader of the Dragonfly Clan). After he had slain the eight prime evils of Earth, Chakan requested the rest he believed he had earned, to which Death replies: "Let me show you the totality of your curse, Chakan. See the countless stars above, each surrounded by worlds like yours, worlds thick with supernatural evil. They are so many, and so far away, and you are stuck on this mote of dust, waiting to reach them, waiting...forever". So Chakan is left trying to discover a means of reaching the other worlds of the universe, his curse unlifted, a "living" example of how ill-advised it is to make a deal with Death. He, thereby, had to tackle Death one more time to win freedom from his curse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chakan: The Forever Man」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
