Spyro the Dragon was a Playstation exclusive title released on the original Playstation all the way back in September of 1998. Upon release, developer Insomniac Games received a fair amount of praise for the new platformer and would go on to create two sequels to round out the original trilogy. Following their third Spyro game, Spyro: Year of the Dragon, Insomniac and Sony would hand the property over to a multitude of other developers for a number of future handheld and multiplatform releases. Unfortunately, none of these would ever shine as brightly as the original three back on the Playstation 1, and after the release of Shadow Legacy in 2005, some thought they would never get to see their favorite purple and gold dragon buddy ever again.

The main gameplay may have become dated, but Spyro and the rest of his pals still seem to take the player on a beautiful trip through the sky no matter if you are a veteran or newcomer to the series.
Design that rages like a bonfire
The time just seems to drag onward
Spyro will remain an icon
