Lost In Translation/Soul Calibur

About The Game
Soul Calibur is a 3-D, weapon-based, one-on-one fighting arcade video game.

Trivia
Released in July 1998.

Soul Calibur adopted the 'Tekken-style' of character unlock, with a huge hidden roster that was unlocked by leaving the game on for months... It is common knowledge that you can tell the age of a modern Namco fighting game by counting characters, and this is one of only two arcade ones that you could measure still after a year (The other is "Tekken Tag Tournament").

The Soul Calibur of the title is not in this game. It was held over for "Soul Calibur II".

Bandai Music Entertainment released Soul Calibur Original Soundtrack (APCG-9006) on October 21, 1999
