Story Breakdown: Looney Tunes Best & Worst 16-Bit Endings

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 saw the release of the first trailer for the new Space Jam sequel, and it's ... something. It sees basketball great LeBron James teaming up with all of your favorite Looney Tunes characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, the Iron Giant, Fred Flintstone, Yogi Bear, the Joker, the flying monkey from The Wizard of Oz, Pennywise and ... the Droogs? Okay, seriously, what the hell is going on here? To celebrate (?) the upcoming Space Jam movie, I wanted to spoil the story and ending for the 1996 Space Jam games. Unfortunately, there's nothing to talk about. So, instead of doing that, we're going to go through every Looney Tunes game released in the 16-bit era. All of them. From Taz Mania to Rabbit Rampage to Death Valley Rally, we're going to be talking about thirteen games and fourteen different endings. 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 every Looney Tunes games released on the Sega Genesis and Super NES.
