As the title says.

I remember back in the late 90's, when my dad was still subscribed to OPSM, we would get discs in the mail with demos of upcoming games on them. One of the discs we got had a demo of Spyro the Dragon on it, and since I was majorly into dragons as a kid, I immediately wanted to play it. I would play the demo as much as I could (we only had one PS1 at the time, and it was hooked up to the main TV, so I had to stop when my mom wanted to watch TV or my dad wanted to play his games).
I was so excited when I finally got the game, and my own PS1, for Christmas.

How 'bout you guys?

well my uncles a fan of the originals, so i was over at his once and i started to play it, which i really found enjoyable. i think it was Gateway to Gimmer/Ripptos rage that i played first. I then got YOTD and was brought into the fan spirit. But after a while of not playing any of the games, my mum got me TEN for my Birthday, which i alos really enjoyed, i never stopped playing it. I then decided to buy ANB from ym own money and then got DOTD for my birthday again, i LOVED it!
The only Originals i have played are (in order) ~
G2G/RR
YOTD
ETD
AHT
An then i was brought back into the Spyro spirit after playing TLOS trilogy, which i enjoyed more (in order) ~
TEN
ANB
DOTD

My dad owned a PlayStation and had bought Insomniac's first game: Disruptor. When he heard they were making a game aimed at a younger audience, he decided to buy it for me. He actually liked it too. I'm pretty sure he also likes Resistance and Ratchet & Clank too (scary thought!). <.>

The last time I saw a commercial for a Spyro game on TV was the Enter the Dragonfly commercial.

...Then again, I haven't watched TV for a long long while... I just turn it on on Thursdays to watch Fringe, now.
