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.

After months of hype and a short (albeit frustrating) delay, the TurboGrafx-16 Mini will be hitting store shelves later this week, and I couldn't be more excited. With games like Ninja Spirit, Splatterhouse and Ys Book I & II, the Turbo was one of my favorite systems growing up, and I love that a new generation of gamers will finally have a chance to discover what made this 16-bit console so great. To help celebrate the TurboGrafx Mini, we're going to take a look at the system's most iconic hero. I'm talking about the Bonk trilogy, which was so popular that it managed to spawn two spin-offs, a Game Boy port and even a Super NES sequel. Turn back if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the stories and endings for Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge and Bonk III: Bonk's Big Adventure. 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!
