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.

Lately, I have been playing a lot of Wing Breakers, a new aerial combat/racing game that just came out of Steam Early Access after eight long years. It's a lot of fun, and reminds me of the racing game version of Wild Pilot, the barely-remembered biplane shoot 'em up from Jaleco. Released thirty years ago, this is a high-flying action game where the goal is to take to the sky and shoot down a bunch of airborne criminals. It also has ten great bosses, a mystery and a great conclusion that you have to see. So, 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 the arcade game Wild Pilot. 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.
