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 brings us Thanksgiving, which is a time when we get together with family and celebrate all of the best things in life. In an effort to celebrate one of my favorite holidays, I wanted to talk about one of entertainment's most iconic families. I am of course talking about The Addams Family, the horror-themed comic strip from Charles Addams that went on to spawn a popular TV series and a pair of Hollywood movies. There was also a game by ICOM Simulations that was loosely based on the original 1991 film. And when I say "loosely," I mean that they change pretty much everything. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending of The Addams Family on the TurboGrafx-CD. 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.
