Story Breakdown: Killing Time (3DO)

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.

Have you heard the news? The 3DO is back! No, not the short-lived and low-selling 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, but rather a bunch of the games released on the system between 1993 and 1996. In news I certainly didn't see coming, Ziggurat Interactive has acquired the rights to the 3DO back catalog and plan on re-releasing dozens of games over the months and years. This includes forgotten favorites like Captain Quazar, Uprising and, of course, Killing Time. To help celebrate this exciting news, I want to take a look back at that last game, which combined cheesy full-motion video with passable first-person shooting. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending for Killing Time on the 3DO. 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!
