Eternal Champions - Console Fighting Games of 1993 

Eternal Champions is a 2D fighting game developed by Sega Interactive and released exclusively for the Sega Genesis in 1993. Unlike most fighters of the era, it was built from the ground up for home consoles rather than arcades. The game features nine unique characters—each plucked from different time periods and resurrected by a mysterious entity known as the Eternal Champion.

These warriors, including a ninja assassin, a cyber-kickboxer, a vampire biochemist, and a prehistoric hunter, must battle for a second chance at life. With a deep lore, stage-specific “Overkill” fatalities, a stamina-based special move system, and support for the Sega Activator peripheral, Eternal Champions stood out for its ambitious mechanics and narrative depth. It later spawned a Sega CD sequel and two spin-offs.
