Is it humanly possible to beat Chakan The Forever man?

Paco

CAGiversary!
Well I've been playing this game on again and off again for years. The game has a maddeningly rip your hair turn you insane level difficulty that even manages to pole vault Ghosts N Goblins. On top of that I hear there's TWO endings. A bad ending and a good ending. BOTH of which are impossible to get since the game is created by the devil. On top of that, you can't really die. You just get kicked out of the level.

Has anyone ever beaten this game? CAN Anyone ever beat this game? Or am I just living a wistful life, thinking I can beat a game that so far seems like it's been forever?

Damn...never knew there were codes. I have it myself and have never beaten it. Tried with an emulator about a month ago and just gave up out of frustration.

I'd love to get my hands on the original graphic novel/comics it was based on...
 
Robert A Kraus (also known as "RAK") still does the con circuit. He sells signed Chakan comics/gn's on his website still http://www.rakgraphics.com/chakan/

He does awesome chalk drawings around his art prints when he hits the cons. One of my favorite Chakan prints he has done is this...

Not sure if he sells the prints with the chalk drawings online or just the prints. He does a great job on the chalk drawings. On the con circuit he also sells chalk drawings around prints of characters called superfreaks. Superfreaks are just his take on simpsons, lost in space, dc, marvel, star wars, etc. I have several and will try and take a picture or to later to add to the post to give people a idea of what I mean by chalk drawings around the matting...
