Yup, if you read along you will read that Spyro the Dragon's working title was "Pete". I had to post this because nowhere on the internet could I find this info, and I wanted to share it. It is extreamly interesting. This picture was taken from the 1998 June issue of the Playstation Magazine. If you have any questions, please ask. Also, curse my scanner for not working. This will be scanned when it gets back working.

Yeah, apparently Universal also wanted Crash to have a different name. But Naughty Dog threatened to drop the project entirely and that got Universal to back off. <.<;

Glad they changed his name. Pete isn't a very memorable video game character name.

This old interview on Playstation Illustrated talks with Ted Price about Spyro's old name being called "Pete" as well: http://www.psillustrated.com/i...fthedragon.html

PSi: Why Spyro: The Year of the Dragon? What prompted the Oriental flair?

TED: Since 2000 IS the Year of the Dragon, it just made sense. Naming a game can be one of the tougher challenges (believe it or not) in the development process - especially when it is as high profile as Spyro. You've got lots of people who are already attached to the character or the gameplay and nothing really seems right. Looking back on the original Spyro, we went round and round for months on the name until Ami Blaire, director of product marketing at Sony suggested Spyro. Even then, it took folks a while to get used to it. Now though, I can't imagine calling Spyro by any other name (except "Pete" perhaps..)
