Hmm, I'm going to guess Chakan.
Bingo !!!
Based upon a comic book by Robert A. Kraus and was produced by Ed Annunziata, the game is well known for its unusually high difficulty level.
The game was like Dark Souls of SEGA Genesis.
That game is
Chakan: the Forever Man.
Chakan was the greatest warrior. Neither man nor beast could best him in mortal combat.
Then, in his arrogance, he said one day even death himself will bow before his swords.
And then the death itself challenge him, and promised an eternal life if he could beat him.
The battle raged on for several days, spells and swords clashed, the world trembled at their unleashed powers until surprisingly to both of them.... Chakan wins.
But death was cunning, and his reward was not what it seemed.
"Foolish man," Death said, "I grant you the kiss of eternal life, but," Death smiled,
"For your arrogance and pride i will temper my gift with this curse."
"Each nightfall, evils will be shown to you, and the pain of their victims will be your pain. You will never know rest as you wander this world searching to slay the horrors that haunt your sleeping world. You will suffer grievous wounds, but you will not die, and as eternity rolls on, you crave my touch. You face will bear my visage, and your eyes will burn with hellfire."
Yes, Chakan has been granted immortality but at a price. So it's not a prize, it's a curse.
Congrats. The next question is yours, Centrale.
