darkSpyro

Hello. I’m trying to conduct a massive survey of Spyro fans in order to create an image of the preferences Spyro fans. My goal is to be able to determine the proportion of old Spyro fans versus new Spyro fans and also what the age/gender demographic of the fans is.

Here’s how you can help: answer a few simple questions. This is not a discussion forum, so do not even put one word beyond what I ask for. This is a poll. That’s it, plain and simple.

Any mandatory question is denoted by an asterisk *. If you will not answer all the questions with the asterisk * then do not even reply, it is a waste of my time. Any questions not marked by asterisk * would be helpful in creating a more dynamic survey so please answer them if you’re willing. This information is only being used to create a portrait of what the Spyro fanbase consists of. None of it will be repeated, shared and/or used in any other way.

For clarification purposes, we are using only the console and handheld Spyro games. Here are those games:

Old Spyro =
Spyro the Dragon
Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage (AKA “Gateway to Glimmer”)
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
Spyro: A Hero’s Tail
Spyro: Season of Ice
Spyro 2: Season of Flame
Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs (AKA “Spyro Adventure”)
Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy (AKA “Spyro: Fusion”)
Spyro: Shadow Legacy

New Spyro =
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning
The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night
The Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour

Spyro fans are split on which series is better - the old series (mainly platforming games) or the new series (all fighting games). State which series you prefer. There’s no need to explain your answer. DO NOT explain your answer. There's no right or wrong answer. Also DO NOT comment on anyone else’s answer. This is to gather information only. Thank you.

Please keep your answers in the straight-down column format that I will model in the post immediately preceding this one. This will help me gather answers more quickly and efficiently.

Here are the questions. Only asterisked * questions are mandatory however please answer all that you can as it is helpful to the survey:

SpyroGamer2008 - Sorry, but you're vote is unacceptable. You have to choose one series or the other (I stated that) and you have to list your age (I stated that). I absolutely will not tally a vote that doesn't have all that I required. You gave me some of the optional answers -which was nice - but did not fill out all the mandatory answers. Until you have done that I will not count your vote. This is to ensure an equality among all votes, and to be fair to all voters.

Ahh! Seriously, people, read the rules! I clearly said I will not accept 'both' as an answer. It's one or the other or don't vote. This is to make it fair for everyone. You choose one or the other. My survey is to show what people of the Spyro fanbase prefer. We already know most people like both but I want to see what you prefer...AKA like better.

If you don't choose one or the other, I won't accept your tally. Hate to sound like a pr!ck but I absolutely require you choose one or the other.
