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.

Summer is finally here, which can only mean one thing -- it's time to celebrate the Sega Master System. That's right, we're quickly approaching the 35th anniversary of Sega's 8-bit console coming to America, and I don't know about you, but I'm ready to party. But before we can start celebrating, we first need to acknowledge that, just like in the 1980s, our Master System coverage has been completely overshadowed by the Nintendo Entertainment System. In fact, we only looked at two of the system's games in 2020 -- Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi. As we kick off the Summer of Sega, I wanted to prove that the Master System is more than just ninja games. This was a console that also had a lot of great science fiction games, including the forgotten classic Psychic World. With a great cover and cool cinemas, this side-scrolling action game has one of the system's best endings. Don't believe me? Then 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 Psychic World on the Sega Master System and Game Gear. 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!

And while you're just clicking on stuff at random, I suggest you head over to the Defunct Games YouTube page and subscribe to the channel. We're posting new episodes of Game Over: The Early Years every Monday, along with brand new game reviews throughout the week.
