Here’s a fun fact: Bone Thugs N Harmony took two songs from this game (the title track is one, I believe) and used the melodies practically verbatim as a beats for their tracks “Crossroad” (the original, not “Tha Crossroads”), and “Eternal.”
I find that very amusing. I heard the Bone Thugs songs long before I heard the Eternal Champions music, and I was flipping out when I finally heard the melodies from the game was like “WTF?”
I remember the hype for this game being huge, then being extremely disappointed when I finally played the game.
