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.

Keeping track of cute platforming heroes from the 8- and 16-bit eras can be a full-time job. From From Bubsy to Sparkster to Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, it's easy to lose track of all the furry friends from yesteryear. One side-scroller that doesn't get enough attention is Ardy Lightfoot, a delightful 2D platformer with long levels, cool bosses and a surprisingly awesome story. To help celebrate this month's 25th anniversary, I want to take you through Ardy's one and only adventure, so turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're doing to spoil the story and ending of Ardy Lightfoot on the Super NES. This is Game Over: The Early Years.
