Eternal Champions

Eternal Champions is a 1993 fighting game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. It features fighters pulled from throughout time competing in a tournament to win the chance to avert their deaths. Sega released Eternal Champions following the success of Street Fighter II (1991) and Mortal Kombat (1992). The game tried to set itself apart with features such as a heavier emphasis on its story, unique gameplay mechanics, and elaborate finishing moves called "Overkills". A second entry in the series, Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side (1995), was released for the Sega CD. The game also spawned two spin-off games, Chicago Syndicate (1995) and X-Perts (1996).
