I haven't played it for about a year but I'm going to tonight! I'm really excited

YES ME I LOVE IT!! I play all of the original ones actually And now that I've been playing them for ages I'm going more into the glitches and the hidden stuff and exploring the games a lot more. Not that this game is actually easy to complete however

Haha cool! I play YOTD all the time and the first game pretty often. Have you completed them?

I've completed all of them, Spyro 1 is by far the easiest to complete but I love it, this game I've completed a few times but YOTD I've only managed to complete once D: Mostly because of the yeti snowboarding challenge in the Super Bonus Round :c

Lol for me, YOTD was the easiest to complete (apart from the Super Bonus Round and Agent 9 with those god damn ninjas) and I've never completed the other two

Oh my days that Fireworks Factory thing with Agent 9 makes me want to cry D: So you've never completed this game or the first one? Why dat?

I replay every classic Spyro game at least once a year especially this one because it's my favourite.

Me too :'( :'( Nope; I haven't been able to! But I haven't really tried for a long time. Maybe if I tried I could do it

Great!

RR is definitely the most played of all of the Spyro games for me. It's my favourite, and I love messing around with the double jump and seeing what I can do with it.

Does anyone know if you can do the swimming in the air glitch on the PSN version?

Yeah same! I wish that had also been in YOTD, in this game it leads to some pretty awesome stuff (not that I can always do it properly )

I'm not sure, I'd imagine so! I think a fair few people who do the glitch videos and stuff might have it, I see no reason why they'd take it out!

Yep, I still like to go back to these Spyro games. I just find them really enjoyable.

^Same here, the original trilogy, EtD and AHT are the only games I ever play, but I play the original trilogy the most. I never got into TLoS and Skylanders well... nah. At least not at this moment in time, and if I do I will definitely not class them as Spyro games.

Well I've tried, and tried to get into the Legend of Spyro, but the gameplay just doesn't really do anything for me.

I feel like playing it right now, but I don't know where my PSP is!

It's definitely my favourite of the original three. It's the most fun and replayable, mainly because of the double jump glitch, which is always entertaining to mess around with.
Spyro 1 has great levels too- probably the best ones in the trilogy- but lacks some polish and additions (story, controls, minigames) that really improved 2.
YoTD is fairly good, but has too much focus on its side characters and minigames, which were really bad at times.

My most played Spyro game is probably ANB, but only because I replayed it constantly as a kid. Replayed it last year and haven't touched it since. Nowadays I replay the original game, Spyro 2 and TEN on the GBA most.

Which one specifically? Just the glitch in general? I've done it on my OG PSP, sooo yes, at least on that console.

Yes, the glitch in general; I wasn't sure if it worked on the PSN version

I play it still but on emulator. I love double jump glitch.

me I just got it a few monts ago and I love it still.

I haven't played this game in nearly 4 years ever since my PS2 took a dive (it was backwards compatible). I'm looking to get it on my PS3 though.

In Britain you can get the whole original trilogy for £7.99

yes I love the original trilogy!

Aww really? Lucky... I live in the US xD

I actually played it a bit yesterday! For some reason I often end up playing it.

Sometimes I still do. In my opinion, this one had the best bosses of the original 3 games. There are times I start it up just to go battle Gulp or Ripto.

I'm planning on replaying the classic Spyro trilogy again by downloading the trilogy on the Playstation Store about the end of 2016, when my memory becomes hazy of them enough so that I can get another good experience out of them. The classic Spyro trilogy is honestly one of my most replayed games since childhood along with Ocarina of Time.

And the second one, although I think has the worse soundtrack out of the three, is my second favourite out of the trilogy, the first being Year of the Dragon. The third game's mini games is it's major flaw, but I adore the ability of playing as other characters (I especially adore playing as Sgt Byrd, and Sgt Byrd's base is one of my favourite levels out of the three games) and I love the game's atmosphere, soundtrack, dragon eggs, levels and Bianca.

I was about to post here saying "meeee"

but then I looked at who posted the topic

^ YOU!!

I still play this game. A lot. I'm gonna go play it right now actually.

I've recently completed it, it's my favourite out of the trilogy.

I have recently played a brand new run through of both Gateway to Glimmer/Ripto's Rage and Year of the Dragon, after at least a decade since my first.

I'm nearly finished with Gateway to Glimmer/Ripto's Rage. I've completed all words except for the speedways which unfortunately I've never been able to succeed in but I need to change that to achieve my goal of unlocking the permanent super flame for another new file. Though that is not necessarily my biggest obstacle as I never could defeat Ripto in my original run.

In Year of the Dragon, again apart from the speedways I have only Crystal Islands left. I'm unsure at the moment but I may need to conquer the speedways here as well to be able to enter the super bonus world.
I've managed to explore several gameshark/hack free glitches in this playthrough such as entering a secret room in Fireworks Factory and the abandoned mini-boss arena in Dino Mines as well as glitching my way into the alternate character areas prematurely to unlocking them. Awesome **** I had no idea about way back during my first run through. I'm pleased as punch with myself for that.

I must say that I'm rather bugged that the color changing cheat which I'd loved playing with back then, no longer works though I am still playing with the exact same copy of the game and PS2. Same goes for Gateway to Glimmer/Ripto's Rage.

I'd replay Spyro the Dragon as well but I no longer own it. I now regret parting with it.

Whenever I replay the games I always have trouble with the speedways. I usually leave those and the Sparx worlds in YOTD until last, or when I really need to complete them to move on. How do you mean by you went into alternate character areas?

He's saying that he glitched into Sheila's Alp, etc. without unlocking the characters first

Oh yeah I saw some videos of people doing that

There are several alternate character areas that are accessible before the necessary character is unlocked. I've elaborated in your YOTD thread in which you asked what glitches there are to try.

I just started playing the game again today after about a year since I last completed it. I'm hyped!

I played and completed it 100% on the day of this post. All done in one sitting, very satisfying run. Started at about 11 in the morning, and finished around 4 in the evening.

I've started to replay all the first three games periodically 4 or 5 years ago.
Usually skip one year, but it's not a rule.

I played Ripto's Rage a couple weeks ago in particular, since I finally understood how to properly double jump: it's basically a childhood dream came true.

Even without the glitch, I still find all the three incredibly fun and enjoyable to these days (to the point of even discovering new things): I think that's truly what defines a masterpiece and really cannot same the same for many other non-open world/sandbox games.

You can play all 3 PS1 games on the PS2 because of backwards compatibility or the PS3 on the PlayStation store (they're also the PSP, and if you have a European account, the PS Vita. I'm still bitter about it not being available for US accounts). Anyway, all 3 games are good. I recommend playing them if at all possible, they are still great games nearly 20 years later.

I don't own any Playstations either

And it doesn't help that I wasn't born back when they came out

I'm really impressed that you can finish it that fast! It normally takes me 8-12 hours depending xD which is pathetic for someone who's been playing it for almost 14 years xD

You gotta take advantage of those double jumps! Forget backtracking to levels, waiting until you have the climb ability, or needing more gems to progress. Moneybags doesn't need those gems anyway

For some reason I finding the double jump really hard I can never get it first try it takes loads of attempts

Ah ok. Yeah, it does take some muscle memory. Once you get it down, though, it's hard to not use it ALL the time. It's too much fun One of the reasons I replay this game so much is because I can break out of bounds so often.

i replay this game at least once a year now

Who isn't playing this game still?

No, seriously, who isn't? The Purple Inquisition greatly rewards those who reveal traitors to the cause.
