Ich habe mich ehrlich gesagt nie ausführlich mit dem Spiel befasst da es mich optisch immer ziemlich abgeschreckt hat und mir dazu zu schwierig war. Die Geschichte mit dem fehlenden Ende war mir neu, eben habe ich das hier gefunden (am besten gleich zum Ende des Clips springen):


Wenn man bedenkt, dass bei einigen Spielen nur 'Game Over' steht, ist das doch ein richtiges Ende, sozusagen die Mutter aller Cliffhanger

Ich zitiere mal aus dem Interview auf Sega16: sega-16.com/2012/07/interview-ed-annunziata/

Sega-16: Something Chakan fans have been wondering is, when you beat Chakan and manage to finish the final boss, you are taken to the hourglass screen, however there is no ending credits or texts, and you are forced to turn the game off. Why did this occur, and what was the actual ending intended to be?

Ed Annunziata: When you finish the final boss the game ends. The story goes: Now that all supernatural evils upon the earth were slain, thanks to Chakan, Mr. Death shows up and points out that most stars in the heavens have planets and many of those harbor supernatural evils. This means Chakan has to wait around until mankind becomes a space faring civilization. This is the story ending, then the credits roll. After that, yes there is another boss as a post-ending bonus, and if you manage to beat him…The hour glass appears. How long does Chakan have to wait before the end comes to him? It was not an easy decision, we could have just ended the game with the story and credits, but something was nagging at me – it’s NOT the end for Chakan. Imagine after so much pain and suffering, thinking the end is near, only to find out it has hardly just begun. Artistically, we were obligated to share his pain, for Chakan. The hour glass where YOU wait forever was for Chakan.
