If I could only play one game for the rest of my life it would probably be spyro 1. I play that game after I get 100 percent completion. That game was genius. The nest 2 were good too but the first one just blew my mind. Time to go dig out the PS1.

I enjoyed the Spyro games (1 2 and 3), even though I was in my late 20s when they came out. Obviously at that age they weren't the most challenging of games but they were immensely fun to play.
As with many of the great franchises, it just wasn't the same when the original developers stopped making them. I certainly enjoyed Insomniac's next series, Ratcher and Clank though.
Same with Crash Bandicoot - Naughty Dog's were the best and I moved onto Jak and Daxter when they did.

Played couple of the games, can't remember if i finished any. Those were fun times, i used to just replay levels all the time. I love that purple fella!
I found the Spyro games to be cartoonishly fun, inventive, and pretty solid over all.
I don't think anyone should hold their breath for a revival, though. I'm sure that wouldn't go well.

I saw a trailer for Spyro 1 on TV when it first came out.
That is what cured me of a case of Nintendo-fanboyism that had clouded my mind since the day I'd aquired my beloved SNES, nearly a decade before. (With some help from the clunky, oversized turd of a controller that came with the Nintendo 64 I once rented from my local video store.)
I eventually bought a PS1, just in time to play Spyro 2. I have never regretted it - especially after I noticed an interesting difference between the advertisements for the two consoles of the day: Your average PS1-related commercial would announce some new game, which inevitably LOOKED awesome (and usually was), while any N64 commercials would usually just boast that the console was now available in some new, fancy color!
The Spyro games, it turned out, were just the tip of the iceberg. I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot 3 and MediEvil, and Final Fantasy VII introduced me to the glorious world of JRPGs. But still I must say, my single happiest moment of the entire PS1 era was the day I heard a rumor that Spyro 3 was coming out.
Yeah. The Spyro games changed my gaming life for the better. If it hadn't been for Spyro, I would probably have bought a N64 despite its flaws. (Fanboy, remember? I might never have bought a single non-Nintendo console to this day.) I've had a lot of fun on the PS1, and later on the PS2 and PS3, but the Spyro trilogy remains a highlight.
I still play them sometimes.

I loved it, was one of my favorite games. Didn't they recently make a decent one? A more serious, aimed towards the people who played the first three but are now old? I remember seeing something like that on the wall... Never got to playing it but it looked decent unlike this "new design" they got going.
The original 3 were the only ones. (And if anyone tries to correct me you are wrong and should be punished!) I've played all 3 about 10 times each. I've even got my grandad hooked on them. The demo of 2 was my first ever game.

I only played Spyro the Dragon and Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, but from what I understand those two games are the highlights of the series. I have very fond memories of the time I spent trying to 100% the first game, and then actually fulfilling 100%-ing the second.
It was a lot of fun, and I would like to try some of the newer games.
The ones on the PS2? The storylines with Cynder and all that?
They sound like fun. They can't be that bad...

Spyro 2 was the first game I ever played, and the series shares the honour with the Crash Bandicoot games as being the Super Mario Bros of my generation. I'd be the first to admit that most of the new games for both series' have been pretty lackluster, but when compared to decline of say, the Sonic games, I'd say they've come out of it alright.
My favourite was definately Spyro 3. Had the most refined gameplay of the series and the four main sidekicks and boss monsters still stick out in my mind as being really inventive and fun to play as/fight.

ARRRRRGGGHHHHH!! whats wrong with his face?!gigastar said:Yes i did own and play it. I thought it was great back then.
The new Spyro.
He looks like Klungo!
Spyro was my first ever game. Loved the original 3 and there were some good games among the spyros released for ps2, I have very fond memories of one called A Heroes Tale.
But all the recent games have been a string of disappointments. After seeing the artwork for the upcoming game I fear it may be the final nail in spyros coffin

The first Spyro game was great, but I have to say not quite as good as the big Nintendo platformers. Spyro had bigger levels, but most of it felt like empty space. Like they made it big just because they had the storage space, but didn't really do anything with it.
Spyro was my first ever game
I was born in 1992, and only came to gaming when i was 7 or so.
and what an introduction to gaming it turned out to be
(100% completion on spyro 1, 2, 3 and enter the dragonfly)
the newest versions are a kick in the franchises teeth though
and so was enter the dragonfly arguably
