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.

When I think about snuggling up and watching a good Christmas movie, I of course picture It's a Wonderful Life, Scrooged and A Christmas Story. Unfortunately, none of those movies were made into games, so if I want to celebrate the season with a controller in my hand then my options are limited to a handful of Home Alone games. So in an attempt to get into the festive mood, I say bring on the Wet Bandits. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil Home Alone 1 and 2 on the Super NES and Genesis. 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.
