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.

Kabuki: Quantum Fighter is a game that should have been huge. It had intense action, inventive level designs, a cinematic story and a premise that is a lot deeper than you might expect. It was also a hit with critics, ranking as Electronic Gaming Monthly's fifth best reviewed game of 1991. Sadly, the high marks and memorable advertising wasn't enough to sell the world on this kabuki action hero, so the Quantum Fighter was only given one chance to shine. But maybe there's something I can do about that. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today I'm going to spoil the story and ending of Kabuki: Quantum Fighter on the Nintendo Entertainment System. This is Game Over: The Early Years.
