Halloween has it easy. When you want to celebrate All Hallow's Eve with a game, all you need to do is put on one of the hundreds of horror games released in the last fourty years. But what about Christmas? Aside from that terrible Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer game or maybe Elf Bowling, there isn't much to choose from. Your best bet is to play a game that just so happens to take place during the holiday season, like Parasite Eve or Bully. But we demand higher standards when it comes to this Game Over series. I want a game that is not merely set during Christmastime, but actually uses the holiday in its storytelling. That's why we're going to take a look at Boogie Wings, with is both a phenomenal shoot 'em up and a great Christmas game. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're spoiling the story and ending for the arcade game Boogie Wings. This is Game Over: The Early Years!
