Eternam

CD-ROM version

A CD-ROM version was released later with full speech for all the (huge number of) characters. And Infogrames were thinking of the future even in 1992. A press-release for the original disk-based version of the game states:

...the world of ETERNAM...has been designed for the CD support (compact disc).

Drakkhen

Eternam is a sort of technical semi-sequel to one of Infogrames' earlier titles, Drakkhen, improving greatly on that game. As well as the game engine similarities, there are also several references to Drakkhen in this game, even going as far as a full-on parody.

Engine

Eternam's game engine (minus the 3D sections) was later used in Infogrames' Shadow of the Comet.

References

• Two people from the team that created Eternam make appearances in the game. They are: Laurent Salmeron and Yael Barroz.
• There are quotes from famous Hollywood movies and tv shows scattered throughout the game manual. They are not related to anything that happens in the game, though.
