About Spyro the Dragon

Spyro the Dragon is a platform game developed by Insomniac Games for the PlayStation. It stars the title character, a young purple dragon named Spyro and his dragonfly friend, Sparx, and is the first game in the Spyro the Dragon series. The first game was massively popular at its initial release and Spyro would later become one of the most recognizable, popular and respected gaming icons for the PlayStation gaming console. Spyro's best friend, Sparx the dragonfly, acts like the player's health meter and assists in gathering gems. The various dragons Spyro unfreezes along the way are also key characters in Spyro's progression through the game. Gnasty Gnorc is the main antagonist, who froze all the dragons of the land in crystal.

    moi aussi c'était un cadeau, sauf que le mien avait été gagné à un jeu de société familial

    Man I remember renting this on a random Friday and just never wanting to give the disc back.

    C'est marrant parce qu'à l'époque on ne se posait pas la question de savoir s'il était bon ou pas, on y jouait c'est tout, et maintenant on débat pour savoir s'il mérite sa place, franchement je ne sais même plus quoi en penser, un peu des deux je dirais.

    Un peu des deux, mais oui.

    Non, sérieusement, on arrête de comparer ça à des jeux d'aventure modernes juste pour lui trouver des excuses, il a ses limites et elles sont réelles.

    En serio hay que ponerlo tan alto solo por nostalgia? No digo que sea malo, eh.
