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.

Twenty years after his sad and untimely passing, Phil Hartman still makes me laugh. From the countless Saturday Night Live sketches to the years of Simpsons reruns to his unparalleled work on News Radio, I can't help but laugh every time he shows up. Well, not every time. This is also the twentieth anniversary of Blasto, one of the only video games to star the great Phil Hartman. It was released just three days after the comedian was shot to death and was one of his final acting roles. 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 Blasto on the PlayStation. This is Game Over: The Early Years.
