      I would like to ask if I could use your example of the swing air glitch from the Dino mine level, in a video I’m making. I would go and get the clip myself but I let my cousin borrow all of my PlayStation games a few years ago and we don’t now want happened to them. I could download an emulator but for a 10 second clip thats going in a Palworld glitch video it’s probably not worth the time to work the whole game. Of course I would give you credit for at the end of the video. If that is alright with you.

    Same with not realising that Year of the Dragon was only the third game, it was the only Spyro game I had for PS1. Which led to some confusion with the story prior to the game.
    Kid-me had no context for why a cheetah was just hanging around a bunch of dragons like he belonged there, so I think I decided that Hunter was just adopted by the dragons. The only other confusion I got was Elora, since without the context of RR she just shows up out of nowhere for a brief moment at the end to flirt with Spyro (the Professor was easy to write off as one of the personalised NPC's the other playable characters got).

    • @Techhunter_Talon
      @Techhunter_Talon Před 7 měsíci +5

      Hunter is weird. As time went on and more and more characters were introduced it became increasingly weird that he's one of the few 'animal people' in the series who doesn't wear cloths. Sorta makes it seem like he's a nudist in that universe and this remains true in the remakes of the PS1 trilogy.

  • @Zansirtheshaman
    @Zansirtheshaman Před rokem +342

    My first Spyro game was Spyro 2 Riptos rage. I was given a PS1 when I was a kid since I had some sort of blood disease, so I had to sit still alot. So I remember me and my sisters had a blast with it. When the third one came out we just all agreed that it was the most fun one, in our opinion atleast. When the remaster came out, me and one of my sisters did a "lan" party so to speak and played trough the second and third game.

      Spyro 2 was so good, there are still some lines from the characters that live in my head, rent free all these years later.
      I remember we rented spyro 1 but number 2 was the first one we owned.

    I thought I was the only one who played the trilogy in reverse order! Spyro 1 always felt very weird to play for me after getting used to the last two games; especially the dash which feels way weaker and looser in 1.

      For me as a kid it was 2, then 3, then 1. I don't think I 100%'d any of them as a kid, but I finally got around to doing it for the whole trilogy when Reignited came out on PS4, and then did it again for the Steam version.

    • @resdraon
      @resdraon Před rokem +3

      Mine was 3. Somehow I got max completion on it as a kid but it took me till my teen years to beat 1 and 2 at all.
      2 always bored me because it felt half the levels were the same or not completed.

    Spyro 3 was my first video game (along with SpongeBob SquarePants: Super Sponge, which I received at the same time). It forever colored my gaming experience, and I still can't help but hold any game I've played since to the standard it set. The order I played the trilogy in was 3, 1, 2.

    Spyro 2 was my first game ever, but Spyro 3 is my all-time favorite. Some of my best memories growing up are trying to play the games with my grandma helping me hold the controller, and I credit the series for making me want to be a game developer. When the Reignited trilogy came out, the games finally looked how I remembered them looking when I was a little kid.

    Funnily enough my first spyro game was the first one but i had absolutely no idea the other 2 existed until a year-ish before the reignited trilogy was announced.
    PS1 emulators usually give me a headache so i never bother trying to set it up to play games i never played before, so i never looked.
    Reignited trilogy was my first time playing 2&3. And i absolutely adored Spyro in the first game as it was, easily one of my favorite mascot platformer/collectathon characters.

Don't think I made but one or two jumps, but it's really cool watching you play the trilogy without gliding

    This was my first ever Spyro game as well. I played it a very young age, never touched or heard of any Spyro game afterwards. Then the Triology came and I heard about it and omg it's so nostalgic I love this game so much.
    Funny side story: When playing Spyro Year of the Dragon I once raged and pressed all sort of buttons at random. Somehow I managed to open the settings menu and change the language to English. I was at an age where school didn't even start to teach us English yet. I was so frustrated, because I couldn't understand anything of the game anymore and I swore to continue the game after learning the essential English basics in school. Turns out before that could happen my family sold my console and games.

    OMG! YAS IM NOT THE ONLY ONE! I also played the trilogy in reverse order as a kid and thought this was the first game for the longest time.

    It's amazing how many little mechanics come together to make this possible. Calling it right now, 10 years from now somebody will figure out how to do this and open up the bonus level.

      I found the third game kind of lacking compared to the first two personally.

      @@planescaped In every aspect you are probably right, but personally my brother played the third with me the most so it keeps a special place in my heart

    This was the first & remains the only spyro game I played. I went back to play the disc on my ps3 & fully complete it, because on ps2 my sister & I couldn’t save the game, so if we ever had to turn it off we lost all progress. We did get to the final like hub area & beat some levels. Going back to play it like 7 or 8 years later was super cool. I could actually understand the dialogue lol
