Holy crap! Where did you find that?!

Oh, wow! Nice find!
Hopefully he does send you a clear picture of the magazine. =3
( I'm curious to know what it all says for "Building a Better Dragon". x3 )

And now i'm looking through all of the stuff in the collections. I never knew that much Spyro stuff existed. :'C

So Dragons have a organ like a lighter at the tip of their spine?

I was talking to the owner through e-mail, he seems like a friendly person, I didn't expect a reply back from him to be honest, I asked him to send me a clearer picture of the magazine so I could read the words, and it is awesome, once I have his permission, I'll post it on it, and perhaps the e-mail conversation, if you want to be nosey.

I'll be honest, I am a bit curious, but more importantly... I really want to know what they written in that magazine .

Dragons are supposed to be fierce creatures, Tolkien would tell you that, as would St. George, and anyone else who's seen the Komodo variety up close. Always aloof, usually intelligent, and generally ill tempered, these beast for centuries been used to frighten children to eat their vegetables, avoid strangers, and coming home when the street lights come on.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this long standing reputation that in more recent years the dragon of lore has been transformed into a sweet, misunderstood creature that just wants to be loved like anyone else. From the misadventures of Pete's Dragon's gentle Eliot to the hallucinogenic ballad of the "magical" Puff, the backlash against the long despised lizard has turned him into a caricature of his former fierce self.

At first glance, Spyro the Dragon may appear to continue this trend. His features are certainly more Disney than D&D; his childish proportions and adorable awkwardness make him an instant hit with the "awww-isn't-he-CUTE" crowd. The world he inhabits is a colorful one, filled with over-sized inhabitants and plenty of slapstick comedy. And he's the star of his own game, for Pete's sake! (Yes, that was a pun, and a not a bad one, either.)

But before you dismiss the tyke as another syrupy-sweet mascot for the underage masses, take a closer look. Could it be that he's actually working against the trend? Sure, he's cute as all get out, but underneath the cuteness is the heart of a fighter and a belly of fire. Sure he galumphs around like a day-old kitten, but get him going and he'll bowl over even the largest enemy. And sure, he may inhabit a cartoon world, but hidden beneath that colorful veneer is a depth of challenge that only the most intrepid will truly explore.

Didn't buy that last bit, did you? I don't blame you; the first Spyro, through well received by the public, was criticized for offering little challenge for the seasoned gamer. But guess what? Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage is coming, and the little guy's got more than a few tricks up his sleeve.

Thanks SSF. . . It would appear those little notes are written in cursive / unique hand writing. . . I guess I'll have to ask the guy if he would be so kind as to write those out. . .

Also for those who are too lazy to read what that passage says I'll add it with this post:

Huh, I saw this thing already (particularly from Retromags.com) like a year ago; the development of Spyro 2, the talks of D&D and Disney, the Q&A and stuff. I thought it was already common knowledge.
