NES Endings Compendium Vol. 1: 1985-89

 This Book is Happy End!

A comprehensive look back at the ending of every single game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System from the system's 1985 launch through the end of 1989. That's four years' worth of hard work, unfair hits, cheap deaths, and controllers thrown in frustration at these famously brutal games!

You might not have been a bad enough dude to finish all of these games, but are you a cool enough dude (or lady) to vicariously experience their endings through this book? Save yourself some agony (not to mention all that wear and tear on your poor controller!) with this first in a series of complete guides to the endings of the NES library. Every game, every plot revelation, every garbled congratulatory message - it's all here in this book.

Now you're playing with endings!

Customer Reviews (4.3 / 5 · 3 reviews)

Thomas ★★★★★

The hardcover feels sturdier than I expected for a niche book like this, and flipping through the 1985-89 endings brought back a ton of memories. The write-ups on each game's conclusion are detailed enough that I caught a few endings I never actually reached as a kid.

Riley ★★★★★

I picked this up for the nostalgia and ended up reading it cover to cover in two nights. Seeing the actual ending screens for obscure 1985 titles I never finished as a kid was oddly satisfying. The hardcover binding feels sturdy enough to leave on the coffee table.

Lily ★★★☆☆

Was hoping for more screenshots per game, but the hardcover binding feels solid and the ending summaries are accurate. It's a decent coffee table flip-through, just thinner than I expected for the price.
