When I saw that Cotton Reboot was coming out this week, I immediately knew that I needed to post a Game Over episode comparing the brand-new rebooted narrative with the quirky story we saw in the 1991 original. What better way to get you in the mood for the return of a shoot 'em up classic? As it turns out, there was one big problem with that plan -- Cotton Reboot is simply not a reboot. As I mentioned numerous times in my review, it's actually a remake of the original, complete with the same story, cinemas and ending. Sure, everything has been redrawn in the remake, but the fact still remains that whatever I say about the early '90s arcade game is going to apply to Cotton Reboot. So, heed my words to 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 Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams. This is Game Over: The Early Years!
