Story Breakdown: Mortal Kombat Mythologies - Sub Zero (PlayStation)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

This week marks the 25th anniversary of Sony's very first home console -- the PlayStation. Released on the 9th of September here in North America, this little 32-bitter was home to some truly groundbreaking storytelling. And to honor a quarter-century of PlayStation goodness, I want to look at one of the system's most iconic endings. No, I'm not talking about Metal Gear Solid or even Parasite Eve, but rather Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero. With over-the-top performances and full-motion video created on a shoestring budget, this unnecessary spin-off is a train wreck in all the best ways. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero on PlayStation. This is Game Over: The Early Years!


Still want more endings? Then I recommend you discover 23 Endings: The Early Years, the holiday series that ran during the 2017 holiday season. We cover Ninja Gaiden, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Bros. 2, Ghostbusters, Golden Axe, Metroid, Double Dragon, Flashback, Final Fight and many more!
