Re: How did you get into the franchise?

i don't remember how i got into Spyro, so i asked my mom. my mom doesn't remember either. she *thinks* Spyro just looked like an age-appropriate game (i was... either 4 or 5), so they just got me one of the games. i'm ALMOST certain my first game was Spyro 2, but i'm not 100% sure.

i played the games (1-4?) for several years, got away from them for a few, but got back into them in 2007 thanks to a bunch of Spyro YouTubers (yearofthe, RedDevilDazzy2007, etc). if i remember correctly, that's when i got AHT and the first two TLOS games. DOTD was released in 2008 of course, i............ stopped buying games after Skylanders started, and here i've been ever since! smile very excited about the reignited trilogy, definitely planning to get them if they're released on something i actually own.

Re: How did you get into the franchise?

I had Season of Flame on GBA when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite games. Sometime during 2012 I decided to download Spyro the Dragon on the playstation store and I really enjoyed it, so I started playing through the whole series. 6 years later and I still play them occasionally.

Re: How did you get into the franchise?

I played the demo that was on Crash Warped (or was it CTR?) with the wayayayum buddhists and thought it was pretty neat back when I was pretty young, probably about 9 or 10. I then got Season of Flame for the GBA, but never finished it. I thought nothing of Spyro ever again until I met Stormy back in 2009 and I played through the OT and ETD with Stormy (tried AHT too but it was so awful I couldn't take more than a couple hours of it) Even now I don't know that I'd call myself a fan of the games, I don't love the mechanics tbh, but I like them enough and have a fond enough connection to them because of all you folks and all our homegrown illegal memes sparx that I'm pretty excited for the remaster

Re: How did you get into the franchise?

My Dad saw a game about a dragon, and asked me if I wanted to get it.

Re: How did you get into the franchise?

i started with Enter The Dragonfly, even completing it 100%. then came A Hero tails, then, The Legend Series and skylanders. I eventually downloaded the original trilogy on my p3, a version that was backwards compatible to ps1 and 2, and I played most of 1 and part of 2.

Re: How did you get into the franchise?

I was 5 years old in 2005/6, and my parents got me a whole bunch of PS2 and some PSX games from some yard sale in a box, mainly so that I could try video games for the first time. Now here's the thing, the games were supposed to be kid games, but for some reason GTA Vice City was in the box. (I don't blame my parents because these games were supposed to be kid games.) I for some reason or another popped the disk in, and played the game. A few hours later, my parents checked on me because they were hearing screaming noises. When they arrived I said "They scream when you hit them." They took the game away and said to pick a different game. Mom found Spyro the Dragon in the box and said something along the lines of "Let's try this game." She then popped in the disk and I played the game, I loved the Spyro series ever since. So much so that she got me all 5 original series console Spyro games and Eternal Night, and some of the merch like a Spyro plush that I still own.

Re: How did you get into the franchise?

My cousins got me introduced to Spyro when I was about 5, I didn’t get a big chance to play it though, I watched my oldest play it a lot, so he can teach me to play it, and I loved it, and 4 months later, I got PS1, I didn’t get Spyro till Xmas

Nice to read about people's experiences. When I was younger I just got Spyro 2 as a present when it was Christmas. Open world game put me under a spell, it was so fun to play! big_smile

Re: How did you get into the franchise?

Hi, I am new to this forum, and I want to share my experience.

When I was 8 years old, I would play the demo of Spyro on the Crash Bandicoot disc. Spyro hadn't been released yet (I don't think). But, I would come home from school and play the demo game over and over. At the time, there really weren't very many kid friendly games on the Playstation, so Crash and Spyro were all I got. I eventually received Spyro the Dragon for my birthday, and it changed my life. Mostly, there was something that felt very safe to me while playing the games. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it was a haven for me amidst the troubles of real life. I remember that I used to have dreams of flying because of Spyro, and I remember making up Spyro related games to play with my friends during school recess.

Now, more than 20 years later, I am playing the original Spyro games with my daughter who is 5. She immediately fell in love, and I got her a Spyro stuffed animal that she takes with her everywhere!

Re: How did you get into the franchise?

Well... to be honest, the music always speaks to me; hence why I loved this series since I can remember. I produce music myself, mostly only VGM.
