Virtually nothing is known of these beings except that they savor the carnage and clamor of battle. As such, they have stocked the arena with the greatest warriors of all time. As a gladiator in the Arena Eternal, you must not only survive, but also win each and every battle against ever more powerful opponents. [. . . ] Teleporters: A teleporter is similar to a gate, allowing gladiators to instantly travel from one point in the arena to another. You can't see where a teleporter leads, however, until you step into it. Doors: Doors in the arena come in many shapes and sizes. A standard door will open if it's shot. Triggers: Triggers often take the form of a button or pressure plate. Some triggers activate when touched, others must be fired on. Fog of Death: These swirling crimson vapors are highly caustic and faintly radioactive. They dissolve flesh and will quickly kill any gladiator, regardless of armor or other protection. Voids: Falling off certain platforms will cause you to plummet to your death. Other locations contain Tubes that will teleport you to a safer place. To find out which places are safe, try not to learn the hard way.

When you select the Mulitplayer Option from the Mode Select Screen, the first thing you need to do is specify which users get to use which Dreamcast devices.
