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 a magazine reader in the 1990s, it was common to see Electronic Gaming Monthly and Die Hard Game Fan rave about the hottest Japanese games that had no chance of coming to the United States. But import gaming wasn't always limited to the far East, because there were also amazing looking games coming from Europe that I could never get my hands on. Now, thanks to the power of emulators, I'm finally able to play through a lot of those 8- and 16-bit classics, including the game we're going to talk about today -- Tintin in Tibet. Released back in 1995 on Super NES and Mega Drive, this is one of only a handful of games based on the popular Belgian comic series that started all the way back in 1929. With globe-trotting antics, cartoony graphics, tons of cinemas and a pretty great ending, this is a legitimate hidden gem that anybody outside of Europe missed out on. 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 Tintin in Tibet on the Super NES. This is Game Over: The Early Years!
