Oh, the hours I lost trying to 100% the first one.
My, the dizzying sense of accomplishment after I beat a target on the speed runs, gradually shaving split-seconds from lap after lap.

Yes, Spyro was fun.
Didn't play any of the sequels, though.

Spyro and Crash Bandicoot pretty much owned my childhood...

Also, people liked the second more than the third? From what I remember of it, (admittedly not all that much), it was over in what seemed like seconds. I enjoyed it, but to me it was always the weakest link of the 3 good Spyro games. As for any Spyro game after 3, they are all abominations.

The new Spyro.
I believe the appropriate response is 'KILL IT WITH FIRE'?

Anyway, Spyro is what started me on video games. I loved- and still love- the first game. 2 and 3... eh. Entertaining, but not great, though the second had some lovely locations (I still hope for a graphically updated re-release of the first few one day, imagine going through the Dream Weavers world, or Zephyr with current graphics?). The only game of it I played after 3 was Season of Fire, which was meh, until the Legend trilogy came out.

I enjoyed them, and they got better as they progressed. Dawn of the Dragon is my second overall favorite, right after the very first.

Played the demo and liked it. But I didn't have the $ during those years to buy it myself and my parents didn't buy me a whole lot of games. So I missed out on those. Which is too bad, because the demo was really good. Sounds like it was a good ole time.

I do miss Spyro but I'm happy the company moved on, Ratchet and Clank are amazing games.

Agent 9 from Year of the Dragon was my first ever interaction with a video game character that had a gun.

So, my fellows escapees, in the late 90's, whilst I was but an apple-cheeked youngster I bought a PS1. Along with it I got a game called Spyro the Dragon. 'Twas but a simple platformer, but oh so many hours I've spent playing that game. I tought it was an underrated star.

But now, my fellow men, I ask you: Have you played it, liked it or even heard of it?

TLDR; Spyro the Dragon, opinions?
I grew up on the three game, I loved them all.

OMFG BEST GAME EVER

*ahem*

Sorry about that. Spyro the Dragon just happens to be my first game ever, which naturally also makes it the BEST FUCKING GAME EVER MADE.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in the Nostalgia Dome. Closely related to the Angry Dome.

You know, usually when people say that a sequel ruined the original somehow....I tell them to shut the fuck up. I mean, it's not like the original is actually effected by the bad sequel, right? It still exists in the same awesome state that it always did.


But in this case.....Goddamnit Spyro, what the hell did they DO to you?

I only have vague memories of Spyro the Dragon and the PS2 drove the series into the dirt.
Still, I think that Sierra did a good job on Dawn of the Dragon. I've seen very few opinions of Dawn... Odd...
Spyro has always been my favourite video game character, you play as a dragon and set stuff on fire, whats not to love?!

Beat the first one, never got around to finishing the second one for some reason though.

Loved those games, though! The first one had some pretty hilarious moments, not just from the enemies but from the Dragon statues you rescued as well. Never played any of the games after the 2nd- 'Ripto's Rage' I think it was? From what I hear though I apparently got out at a good time.

A friend of my parents got me the first Spyro game from Australia...(well I think it was, that or Austria) and I was like "yay a videogame!"

Then I played it.

And played it.

And played it.

Yeah, it was spectacular :D

Year of the Dragon was my favourite, but the first game is close behind it.

It's a shame Spyro has burnt out now (hah), for me IMO, A Hero's Tail was pretty good aswell.

Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot were a good part of my childhood. Good times were had.
