He’s cute. He’s purple. A nasty burp could send those in his vicinity to the burn unit. Meet Spyro, the adorable and mischievous little dragon on a gigantic adventure. Gnasty Gnorc decides to make the dragons pay for all of the insults they have directed his way. After dabbling in magic, Gnasty turns the gems that litter the world into his soldiers and changes the dragons into crystals. However, the magic spell missed a young dragon named Spyro. In his debut adventure, Spyro must free his fellow fire-breathers from their crystalline prisons that are located across six worlds.

Now, to begin, I’d like to touch on the fact that this game arrived very quickly to my door, within 3 days of ordering. That was pleasant, and The disk itself was completely unscathed which was an enormous plus. CD case was intact, cover art wasn’t faded nor torn. It was like New and I love that. Okay, now I have been an enormous fan of Spyro for years since my childhood. Spyro the Dragon was my first ever 3-D platformer/ action adventure game I ever played. Titles like N-64’s Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time came afterwards, so Spyro holds a special place in my heart and for good reason. The game itself is of grand quality. The game play is fluent and fun, The visuals for its time is still vibrant with color, the enemies are well varied, and it’s a pleasure to experience from start to finish. As well, there’s a bonus room that’s super fun. Won’t spoil whats in there though. The only downside I’d say is that The boss monsters aren’t very well built up nor overly difficult, still fun but rather short.However, That’s literally the only complaint I can muster about the game. It’s a wonderful game that I would highly recommend to any of my friends and any one who asked me.
Spyro The Dragon was my first ever videogame and is still one of my favorites today. It holds a special place in my heart and I have played a lot of videogames including almost the entire Final Fantasy frachise,both of American Mcgee’s Alices, Trapt(Kagero 2:dark illusions in Japan), Primal, Dragon Age Origins, all 3 Jak and Daxters,Okami,both Valkyrie Profiles and many many more and while Spyro may not be my favorite and it doesn’t hold a candle to them in violence or depth it is still revered by me as a FANTASTIC game. It is artistically done in music and graphic design the game is simple without being to simple there are still a few challenges a young child probably couldn’t figure out on their own so in other words the game isn’t so challenging you get infuriated at it but it also isn’t so easy that you get bored with it. You basically collect Gems (the dragon’s treasure), free your dragon friends who have been turned into crystaline statues by Gnasty Gnorc, chase down dragon egg thieves,and eventually have the final showdown with Gnasty Gnorc and you do it all in the form of an adorably spunky little purple dragon: Spyro. This game is practically devoid of violence (although the entire Dream Weavers worlds weird me out even to this day) and is perfect for children 3 and up (although as I said they may collect enough items to advance to the next homeworld and even enough to defeat Gnasty Gnorc they still probably won’t find everything 100%) it is a game that I think like Pacman will withstand the test of time and will still be played 20 years from now-at least by me!
I got a great deal on this used PS1 game. My girlfriend plays this classic game and enjoys it a lot. She’s not much of a gamer. The disc seems to be in great condition with no scratches and plays perfectly. There’s a few tiny “cracks” within the inner ring of the disc, but this is common and DOES NOT affect the actual disc itself. It seems like an alright game to me, just not my style, which is why I gave it a 4/5. But a lot of people seem to like this game. It’s a great kids game as well.
I played the original Spyro trilogy extensively multiple times in my childhood, having attained a 100% completion status on the first 4 Spyro games released. I am no stranger to the series or this game in particular obviously. I bought this game almost only because of the nostalgic value it has to me. As well as the fact that I’m attempting to amass a collection of all game console systems and the best of their games, according to my own opinions.But on to the game itself. As the subject title implies, (for me) it is and always will be, a timeless classic in the history of videogames, as it is almost the first real game I ever played and actually tried and succeeded in completing. For the time, it’s graphics were close to cutting edge, and the story is simple, yet actually completing everything 100%, is quite a difficult task depending on what part you’re trying to do so on. The gameplay mechanics are a little stiff, but no more than expected from a game released in 1998 on a system that has been rebooted 4 times since the one this game was developed for. If you care at all about great games, or if you played this in your childhood, you’re going to want this for your collection.
This is my childhood favorite game. Make that my lifetime favorite game! I’ve been playing this since I was six years old, and it was foundational for my imagination and creative writing. There’s just no other game like Spyro. And I’m SO glad they didn’t let him stay green; the purple is iconic.
Spyro is the most amazing game I think I’ve ever played on the Ps1!!!! Graphics are outstanding for its time, and the gameplay is just so fun and enjoyable. The controls are really smooth, the story line is great, the levels are well made and designed, enemies are interesting and well created. Simply, this is a great game all around. I can definitely say this is one game I’m never ever selling/getting rid of again (can’t remember what I did with it years ago). I never actually beat it years ago, I never really even made it half way through the second world. But I bought it again (at a rather high price due to rarity of a complete copy) and finally beat it after years. Love this game so much, worth every penny!!!!
If your thinking about buying this to relive childhood memories, you totally should.It probably took you as a kid like 4 years to beat. Go you-tube and watch a spyro speedrun. You can beat this game in like 2 hours if you really want to. good luck.
The game was just as I remembered it and came in, more or less, perfect condition, although I didn’t realize that they changed some of the dialogue of characters from the original version to the greatest hits and I honestly couldn’t begin to imagine why.But, nonetheless, an amazing game with lots of hidden areas to test your reasoning and gaming skills,- some of which made my head hurt for the first several years I owned my original copy- a fun premise & great for people of all ages. An expert can beat the game in about five hours, but doing so relies on much more than just simple skill, like most modern games. Even though the second & third entries were great (and, honestly, longer), I kind of regretted that they didn’t take as much of an advantage of their environments as the first did. I guess, in closing, not as complex, but just as fun.
I first played this game when it came out about 14 years ago and loved it but never owned it because I didn’t have a playstation. I later got a ps2 and have had it for at least 12 years but never thought to get this game. The other day I was playing one of the newer spyro games and thought back to how much I loved the original so I hopped on here and bought it. When playing the game it definitely takes you back when you see the old graphics and almosts hurts your eyes compared to the video game graphics quality we are used to today. Great game nonetheless :)
