The Story of Spyro the Dragon

I first played 'Spyro The Dragon' on a Playstation Underground demo disc. I thought it was incredible. I always loved the N64 platformers, so this was a chance for me to get in on the action. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did making it. As always, give it a share if you learned something new. Thanks for watching!

"at the retail price of $39.99"
spits coffee out
we need to go back....

I had a demo disc with Spyro on it and I mustve played that one level a hundred times or more.

The amount of time I spent playing those games.

Sony won me over with Spyro, and now it's on the Nintendo switch with better graphics lols 😂😁🤣

Spyro is the entire reason i game at all. truly awesome video!

Hastings looking like eminem

Says Nintendo only have mature games from third party, claiming Sony went the other route by citing… two games by third parties. lol

i played these games when i was a kid and never beat them all the way through! i just picked up the remastered trilogy on steam (it was on sale yay) and i can’t wait to revisit them in all their glory 🥹

I first played this whilst suspended from 1st year high-school It was my sister's and was the only hame in the house I hadn't played as it was girly, o didn't put it down and played untill I completed it

I have the Toys for Bob remakes of the Spyro games as they were my favourite PS1 games growing up, and I was disappointed in the remake. It annoyed me that they censored parts of the original games

Eww Westslop

Ted Price retiring feels like the end of an era.

is this a fully AI created video? Something is missing...

Who brought a dragon into Avalar!?

The bad guys mooning you in Peacekeepers will always be iconic

Voice actors and soundtracks can really make or break a game or movie

Those folks are serious heroes

I remember when i was growing up in 2000 i got a few playstation demo disc one of them being a pizza hut demo disc that had spyro on it, I remember playing spyro for hours on end replying it because it was a masterpiece of a game and even though it was only the demo it had so much reply value. Though i never was able to get the full version of the original games when i was growing up, I did however revisit the series with the remake and completed the whole series in my adult years.

if you don't put retro dither on footage from games of the crt era they look weird as hell. this clean blocky image was not the spyro experience

I dont appreciate the total gloss over of the Legend of Spyro series. Those games were innovative and really good.

Sadly, games will never be this simple, or this good ever again.

The original Spyro Trilogy (And the Spyro Reignited Trilogy) are still my favorite 3D platforming games ever.

Spyro 2 true boss: TROUBLE WITH THE TROLLEY EH?

Wow I didn’t know that looks for both Crash and Spyro were designed by Charles Zembillas!

So…microtransactions outside the game was activision too. 🤦‍♂️

I always felt like Spyro and Crash were the unofficial mascots of Playstation.

The game looks sucky. Graphics are bad. Fortnite has better graphics. Heck it looks like minecraft but that has better graphics still.

I don't see anything wrong with the "more of the same" approach. More Spyro is always a good thing, no need to fix what isn't broken. Innovation just for the sake of innovation is how we get blunders like BK Nuts & Bolts that entirely strip their series of their core identity. Mario doesn't revolutionize the formula much yet it's never criticized for that, why should Spyro be? If anything, Year of the Dragon was already too big of a departure from the core premise which didn't resonate with me despite being part of the original trilogy, going back to the roots of the series and shifting focus back to the titular dragon was a welcome move to me.

The intro music for the main menu brings a tear to my eye

Spyro Enter The dragonfly and spyro the hero tail of the Gamecube versions sucks

Nice video

As a kid i only ever played spyro 2, and i rented it so many times from the local blockbuster, that by the time i was about to rent it for the last time (100% the game) they straight up gave it to me, lots of good memories

My mom taught me how to play Spyro the Dragon and I still love it to this day. So many great memories of watching her find the secrets and learning the controls for myself ❤

The Legend of Spyro series doesn’t get enough respect.

Nintendo never again competed for the top spot, they were shit ever since

I was born and 98 and it’s funny to hear him say he wanted his mom to be able to play it….bro my grandma showed me it along with hidden gems/orbs/areas. They need to bring this kinda gaming back.

You didn't talk about the subway incident

i recived a PS1 when i turned 6, as a hand me down from my cousin. He gave us 4 games, the spyro trilogy, and crash team racing. I'm 25 now, still down this PS1 console and have been playing these 4 games for almost 20 years. I haven't gotten sick of them once. Spyro year of the dragon is the best video game I've ever played and I am yet to find something that holds up to its replayability

Skylanders Spyro looks ugly ngl
Also The Legend Of Spyro trilogy was an absolute blast to play.

What a timeless love-letter to Insomniac. Beautifully done, Gaming Historian. Absolutely stellar video 🩵🩵🩵

THANK YOU SIR ❤

Damn, learning insomniac apparently made my childhood. Spyro then ratchet? Gotta check out the rest of their stuff

Wait 2024 is the year of the dragon ok

Yall should play the remake of the Spyro trilogy. It completely perfects the game in the best way possible.

All of those other proposed company for insomniac names were so good.

Wait Skylanders was a Spyro game...? I played that all the time as a kid how did I not know that

Spyro was and still is shit. I played the demo in 1998 and had enough. It not even was nearly like a Nintendo Jump and Run these times. It simply is a stupid walk/fly and press one button to kill simulator.
