Skydance is adapting Sega's obscure 1993 fighting game, Eternal Champions, into a movie. The game, a lesser-known title from the early 90s, had a unique but underwhelming presence in the gaming world. Jurassic World writer Derek Connolly will script the film, focusing on the game's eclectic cast of historical characters.

In the ‘90s, Sega was known for taking big risks. Some of those risks (like the aggressive marketing of the Genesis and Sonic the Hedgehog) paid off. Others, like the surprise early launch of the Saturn, have gone down in gaming history as prime examples of what not to do in the console business. But then there were the fascinating experiments with add-ons like the Sega CD, which, while not commercially successful, offered some unique experiences that are still fondly remembered by those who owned them.
