I think Eternal Camps was the highest rated Mega Drive game in the history of Mean Machines - 97% If I recall.

It was still utter garbage though.

I've stopped buying VC games, mostly because I no longer have the space on the internal memory and although I have a 2 GB SD card, I can't run games off them either which is really stupid, bordering on moronic really. That said I also think Nintendo are ripping people off with the prices of these games... I mean £6 for a Megadrive game and £7 for an N64 one when Sony ask just £3.50 for PSone games which is from the same generation as the N64?!? Sheeesh... who are they trying to kid?

I remember them playing Eternal Champions on this game show called Head to Head (I think), on The Childrens Channel (again not sure), a way back. Ah good times... I learned most of English watching that TV channel. :)

Anyway the game looked cool at the time.

I liked Eternal Champions, although I don't think it's worth £6. You could probably get a boxed copy cheaper off eBay.

My school did a game swap day and I swapped my Bubsy the Bobcat for Eternal Champions (a decision i regret to this day.) The game itself was good but the final boss stupidly hard. The most fun I had in the game was learning the exact point in the scenery that activated the death sequences.

Oh and only the Mega CD version had the Fatality style moves.

I always though Mean Machines had some kind of back room deal going with Eternal Champions given the ridiculous ammount of attention it received. And that 97% review.

Eternal Champions was great, only got to the Eternal Champion once as Larcen Tyler, and lost.

Needless to say, i'm sure that EC was out before SF2 made its debut on the console, so thats where the inflated scores came from.

What the reason again that I always post about feeling crushingly disappointed on a Friday afternoon?

Oh that's right, I remember now.

According to Mobygames, Street Fighter 2 on SNES was 1992, and Eternal Champions on Mega Drive was 1993.

I remember it being okay, but stupendously difficult, and not nearly deserving of a score that high.

I loved Eternal Champions, although playing a 6 button game with my 3 button megadrive pads was quite hard (and the B button was broken on pad 1 and the C button on pad 2).

It was very hard as well, and the animation was not so good. The character design is one of my favourites and the taunting was great fun :D

97% is a bit high for it, but you often see that with single format games
