That's still one of my favorite fighting games of all time. There's nothing quite like mashing buttons and accidentally knocking your opponent into a giant spinning fan in the background. At that point, I didn't even realize the game had fatalities, so it was a bit of a shocker.<br /><br />Stunt Zombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389041113668873208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-3158977349842098582013-09-18T21:35:05.700-05:002013-09-18T21:35:05.700-05:00Oh no!

And you don't have to worry about sending me that cartridge! You hold onto it.

I don't really ever play it anyway, it would be nice if it got more use. I guess you don't have a console, but you could just display it until you find a good deal on one.Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14317502791624737515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-24508319399485262542013-09-17T20:36:40.885-05:002013-09-17T20:36:40.885-05:00There's a game I haven't seen or heard fro...There's a game I haven't seen or heard from in ages. Eternal Champions was a big deal around my dorm room for quite some time.<br /><br />We had some pretty intense tournaments, and when we weren't messing with MK, this was the prime choice for an alternative.<br /><br />It had great character design and the moves were top notch. It's an under-appreciated classic.Vaporman87@RetroDazehttp://www.retro-daze.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-36557756595475473892013-09-17T18:24:11.055-05:002013-09-17T18:24:11.055-05:00OMG!

I remember the sequel and Shadow had the same look from the sequel as she does in the spinoff, but I totally did not know about this. I have got to find a way to get this game!<br /><br />I am really glad you appreciated this. I know I have a soft spot for Street Fighter II and MK, but this game has always been the one I have liked the most. I know I used some humor and stuff in describing the characters, but it stayed pretty true to what was written in the lengthy bios in the strategy guides. Such an interesting piece of work on them. Such great stuff. I hope all is well in your part of the woods!Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-26284539006713502022013-09-17T18:18:15.849-05:002013-09-17T18:18:15.849-05:00Hey John!

I've never been an expert at fighting games, but I certainly had to practice on this one to even make to the final boss. It was a very inventive game, but it was also a challenge.<br /><br />I have sometimes thought about purchasing a used Sega stuff to play certain games that have never been re-released, but I haven't done that yet. They do have something that is all new, it looks like a mini Sega that has games already built in and plays the actual old cartridges, but it is like 50 dollars. That is a lot! I hope you are doing well! And as for the guide, I don't know that I could ever part with this thing! lol <br /><br />Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-37201155049971278942013-09-17T16:29:31.430-05:002013-09-17T16:29:31.430-05:00Me and my friend Fred stay up for 24 hrs playing t...Me and my friend Fred stay up for 24 hrs playing this game on the Sega Channel back in the day.

Thank you for a detailed look at the cast of characters, because all I knew about them was from the booklet included with the cartridge.<br /><br />Also, did you know that Shadow had her own game that was released a couple years later? I never played it, but I remember seeing advertisements in comics when I was younger. Always meant to check it out.<br /><br />It even has it's own Wiki-page..! <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Pertsthe Trash Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102451795524437819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-24059909054553758852013-09-17T10:28:20.340-05:002013-09-17T10:28:20.340-05:00Ah SEGA, gotta love it.

Luckily I actually stumbled upon a SEGA Genesis for $20 at my local DI (Deseret Industries). Later I found an Eternal Champions cartridge for $3, also at the DI.<br /><br />I haven't really played it much. I found the controls to be a little not-so-intuitive, but maybe it's just me. This review makes me want to give the game another chance. I think what I need is the player's guide. ;)Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14317502791624737515noreply@blogger.com
