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 saw the release of The Boys, a gritty and satirical look at what life would be like if superheroes existed in the real world. I enjoyed it, but after eight episodes of deconstructing celebrity culture, gender roles, religion, politics and other heavy topics, I wanted to follow it up with a slightly lighter and more innocent take on the costumed hero genre. Let me introduce you to Bravoman, an optimistic and upbeat take about a regular guy who transforms into the superhero the world needs. 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 Bravoman on the TurboGrafx-16. 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!
