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.

There are exactly 91 days until James Bond returns to the big screen in No Time to Die, a movie that was supposed to have come out 450 days ago. To celebrate Daniel Craig's final time playing 007, we're going to be posting weekly James Bond reviews over at the Defunct Games website. That's right, between now and the movie's October release date, Bond aficionado Adam Wallace will be writing about some of the best and worst spy games ever made, starting with James Bond 007 on the Atari 2600. And to get you in the mood for this long-delayed review series, I want to talk about one of my favorite spy games, a little-played gem called S.P.Y.: Special Project Y. This is a Konami classic from 1989 that effortlessly shifts between beat 'em up action and third-person shooting. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending for S.P.Y: Special Project Y. 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!
