Chakan: The Forever Man is a Sega Genesis and Game Gear video game published by Sega in 1992. The game featured an uncommonly dark premise when it was released because it was during a time in which the home console market was flooded with licensed platformers based on family-friendly media such as the Mario and Sonic series.

It is based upon a comic book of the same name, written by Robert A. Kraus, and was produced by Ed Annunziata, who met Chakan's creator at a convention and was impressed. In addition to composing, Chakan is also Mark Miller's only work as a gameplay and level designer.
