darkSpyro

Since October 1998 if I remember right..

idk i was to young to tell time then

Since 1999 a few months before GTG came out, which is the same year I got my PS one

Well, it came out the year I was born, and that was the year we bought it. But when I actually was first able to play it, I was about 2.

Mmm.... I've played Spyro the Dragon in 1999 when I was 5 years old. Right now I'm going to the university and I'm still playing Spyro the Dragon and the other Spyro's Games

i've been playing spyro for six years

The first Spyro game I played was Spyro 2 when I was about 4-5. It didn't really interest me so I didn't play a Spyro game again until I was about 9-10 when I played TEN. TEN really interested me so I decided to play ANB afterwards. I then of course played DotD when it came out. I have been playing TLoS ever since. Skylanders' price made me not want to play that.

Edit: for clarity

I've been playing Spyro for fourteen years.
I originally got the demo for the first Spyro game in 1998, then I got the demo for Spyro 2 in 1999, after that my Mum bought me Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer as a Birthday present in 1999. Furthermore, got ETD in 2002 and then I got both full versions of Spyro 1 & 3 in 2003. Afterwards, I got A New Beginning in 2007, Dawn of the Dragon in 2008 along with A Hero's Tail, Eternal Night in either late 2009 or early 2010. And finally, I borrowed Season of Ice some time in 2010.

I mainly play the first three Spyro games, and A Hero's Tail.

Since I was like 5. Been playing Crash longer tho.

About 12 years I think.

For almost 10 years.
I was on holiday and in the house was a Playstation and Spyro YoTD. I loved dragons and the color purple so I played it and loved it, even if I found it hard. That was in 2002, just after my 3rd birthday Then I found Spyro The Dragon while watching TV that year or the next year. It was on the shelf and was brand new. Then I got Gateway To Glimmer as a present. And I got YoTD. So by the time I was 5, I had all the Insomniac games. Then when I was 4 or 5 I got Enter The Dragonfly and when I was 6 I think I got A Hero's Tail. I got A New Beginning for Christmas when I was 7 as it had just come out. Then not long after, when I was 8 or 9 I got The Eternal Night on the PS2 and then soon after I got it on the Wii. Then one or two years ago I got Dawn Of The Dragon, as I'd wanted it since 2008.

As for other games, I got a Gameboy Advance SP when I was 8 or 9 as I wanted a DS but I couldn't have one and I got all 4 of the Gameboy games. And when I finally got a DS for Christmas I got ANB and TEN, and then one or two years ago got Shadow Legacy.

I tend to play the classics (STD-AHT) and occasionally the spin-off games, not so much TLOS though.

I've basically written my entire history of Spyro. The end

When Shadow Legacy came out. I then bought all of the previous games except for the first 3 as I don't have a PS to play them on. I also went on to buy all of the TLoS and Skylanders.

12 years

I found out about Spyro in 2010 but I never played any Spyro game because I didn't have a game console and the playstation I used to own was given to charity. It was, I think until 2011 I found out about emulators, so, only a year I think.

Wow, you're a late newcomer, and you want to get interested in a franchise that's quite old now? Dedicated, lol.

My first time was in 2001, but back then I only played the first. Spyro The Dragon. Unfortunately over time forget this game franchise.
Over the years I played their demos through the Crash Bandicoot games. And played by my friends, with the PS2, for the exclusive games of Spyro.
And until two years ago was that I returned with Spyro and know their other games. Finding out that there is a Spyro game for the Xbox and one for the Xbox 360. After downloading the emulators for PS1 and now I have to get the CDs, because Internet downloads are damaged and I can not complete them 100%.

That's pretty interesting.

I honestly can't remember when I got into Spyro, or how I got into it. I think I was around 5 or 6 when I started playing it.

I honestly can't remember. Probably verrrry young.

I have been playing...ANY Spyro game since I was 7, so nearly 8 years.

I've played Spyro since 1998 when Spyro the Dragon first came out.

I don't know... But first Spyro game was Year of the Dragon, so I guess year 2000 or later...

When you play any of the first three Spyro games, do you get that lovely feeling of nostalgia? The feeling of "Oh I remember this level, it's so cool" and "Oh no, not this level, I hate this one!" Because that's how I feel when I replay an older game that I played from the past.

Yep, most definitely. I used to get stuck in levels such as Haunted Towers, Tree Tops and the last part of the Gnasty Gnorc boss level. Nowadays, I know the locations of every dragon off by heart and how to overcome certain obstacles. I think I remember having a purple Spyro CD case, it might be still in my younger sister's room (I used to share it with her).

I didn't know 'bout Spyro until about a year ago. So not really all that long.

Since I was 4 or 5 i think

It's really great fun when you know where everything is and what to do, it makes you feel so badass at the game, lol. But sometimes I wish it was back in the days when it was all new to me and I didn't know what was going to happen next, I miss that feeling with the Spyro games, you see, if Insomniac could still develop them the same way like on the PS, then I'd still get that great feeling I did with the classics. Was the purple case a special edition?

Unfortunately, things can't return to the way they are back then and I hate it when most things evolve as the years go by. Most likely the only thing I hardly know every location of are the gems 'cause it's hard to remember every spot of each gem. I'm not sure 'cause I don't know whether the purple CD case came with either of the first three Spyro games or my family got it separately. Sure, I'm glad and utterly excited that Girls Aloud is planning on making a long-awaited, highly-anticipated comeback later on this year but I want old-school Spyro to do the same. Too bad that's just a fantasy that will never happen.

11 or 12 years :) Since YOTD

Lol, so Spyro's your best fwend?

Since as long as I can remember! It came out 2 years after I was born, and my brothers introduced me to it.

I played Spyro when I was 4, actually...

Since 2005/6 when I was 5 or six, can't remember But I have not stopped playing Insomniac Spyro since-and never will

Wow, you got into the Spyro series pretty late then, considering that you only play the Classics. I don't think I've seen a younger person on here that thinks that the Classic series is the best. Normally, I see that they're neutral to all three series, or they like LoS, or just Skylanders.

Since 1998/1997. When the very first spyro demo came out. So about 13 or 14 years.

Spyro didn't exist in 1997, so I'm pretty sure it would have been 1998 then.

Well, there was a demo disc of it a while before the actual game was released. The demo included Marco the balloonist saying "Come back next september" When you wanted to fly to another realm.

yeah, the LoS trilogy seem too complicated and like a boy's game, if you know what I mean

Personally, I don't give a damn about The Legend of Spyro trilogy and the Skylanders series. ParatroopaCx from deviantART feels that way too. I'll stick to the classic series, thank you very much.

She's not hating Spyro, she is just saying how she doesn't like some of the games, albeit quite harshly.

Oh wow, didn't know about that, it must have been 1997 then. I've got a demo of the first one but the balloonist says something different, something like "You cannot explore any more worlds until the game is finished". It was a 1998 one though.

Yea, I loved that demo. I lost it though a long time ago when our basement flooded.

^

can you still get demos? i cant remember if my dad got them, i just walked into my room one day and there he was, flaming hunter's ass on a speedway challenge

I just only like the original Spyro series but I do have problems with the ToS trilogy and the Skylanders series, in a negative way.
