I put a good deal of time in Eternal Champions back when it released. Decent fighting game then, and still is now. Sure it has its flaws, but still worth owning. Larson (Trench coat guy, think that's his name) is the only character worth playing though.
I appreciated the character design, setting, aesthetics back in the day (at least it was an attempt to do something a little different).
I know I spent more time watching my brothers/friends playing it, though, since I was saving my time (we had to share a single television) for other games...
