Eternal Champions (エターナルチャンピオンズ) is a Sega Mega Drive fighting game developed by Sega Interactive Development. Built to make money off the popular Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat franchises, the player has a choice of a variety of different fighters from different time zones and there is a high level of violence.
The original game has since been re-released on the Wii's Virtual Console service. It also saw a comic strip in the early days of Fleetway's Sonic the Comic.
Eternal Champions was followed by the Sega Mega CD title Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side.

Storyline
Taken from ingame text: "Welcome to my chamber. I am the Eternal Champion, keeper of this vast fighting complex. It exists in a place and time corrupted by centuries of misuse and destruction.
My purpose in this grand scheme is to maintain the balance between good and evil, light and darkness, hope and despair.
Now this balance has been lost and the very fabric that holds the world together will be torn apart.
Your future, my present, has been destroyed by a cruel and unjust twist of fate.
Nine individuals from various periods in time were killed before their lives could affect this dark existence.
I have observed each of their short lives and have been powerless to stop the chaos.
I have spent the centuries harnessing my own power for this very moment. I am the pure and untouched energy of all the great martial arts masters that have lived before me. Their skill, wisdom, knowledge, and inner-strength are at my command.
Even with the force of their collective powers, I can only reward one of the nine individuals with the gift of life. Any of them can have an equally profound effect on the future. For this reason, the contest must take place.At the end of this contest, only one will remain. The victor will be returned to life a few seconds before his death, allowing him to avoid the past with the knowledge to change the future.
Only one may live so that the balance may be achieved.
Let the contest begin..."

In stages, if an opponent lands on the correct spot, they will be killed by something from the background in a finishing move known as an Overkill.
