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.

As we enter spring after a long, cold winter, we're left with the reality that ski and snowboarding season is quickly coming to an end. Of course, I didn't hit the slopes this year, because I'm deathly afraid of smashing into a tree. Thankfully, extreme sports games like Amped and SSX have done an excellent job giving me the high-speed rush of racing down a mountain. But while those franchises may have had the stunts, good looks and attitude, it was Snowboard Kids that had zany cinemas. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the stories and endings for both Snowboard Kids 1 and 2 on the Nintendo 64. 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!

And while you're just clicking on stuff at random, I suggest you head over to the Defunct Games YouTube page and subscribe to the channel. We're posting new episodes of Game Over: The Early Years every Monday, along with brand new game reviews throughout the week.
