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.

Godzilla is back and ready to prove why he's the King of the Monsters at movie theaters this weekend. To help celebrate this much-hyped sequel, I want to take a look back at the best and worst Godzilla endings from the 8- and 16-bit eras. This includes Godzilla: Monster of Monsters, The Monster Movie Game, Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters, Super Godzilla, Godzilla Monster War, Godzilla: The Series and a whole lot more. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the stories and endings for pretty much every Godzilla game released in the 1980s and 90s. 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!
