Re: another old Spyro site uncovered!
It requires Shockwave because the website is dynamic and interactive on a small scale. There is for example a sheep moving past the screen that you click on to burn. (If I remember it right) I'm sure there was something more, possibly with a dragon statue, but I can't remember it at the moment.
The image on the left is probably just a collage to show off the varied world themes. It contains both a Magic Crafters level and Toasty, a Peace Keepers level and Artisans Home, with a sky that could be from Cliff Town.
Edit:
I ran the website in IE and installed shockwave.
Sparx follows the mouse cursor in the collage landscape, with his typical random movement, and scales as you move the mouse up and down, into and back out of the scene, to make it seem 3d.
When you click, the mouse breathes fire.
There are several things to burn: A Town Square bull charging out of the cave and towards the "camera", tents from Peace Keepers Home, a sheep bump-bump-bumping past the screen, and a thief running in a zigzag "into" the scene.
Animated text appears when you move the mouse over the dragon bases, which is the site menu.
No actual crystallized dragons. I misremembered

Re: another old Spyro site uncovered!
Sorry about the bump, but this is important.
The spyro1.com domain appears to have been hijacked, and now seems to be a Chinese spam website. The spyro-yearofthedragon.com domain is also defunct.
