Oh! Spyro! I loved those games. I haven't played it in a literal age but I remember the series fondly.

What all did you play? Do you still have the games?

I liked the way they were advancing by small tweaks each game so that they seemed like they'd just keep getting bigger and better with each installment, but alas, Spyro 3 was the last game to capture the spirit of the series, and it hasn't been the same since (again, as far as I know).

That's back in the day when it was still fun to 100% a game, when it meant something without being tedious. When it was fun to do without having some external incentive. Back when games were fun for fun's sake.

The developer who made the first three games, Insomniac, stopped making them and the title was handed to other developers, similar to what happened to Crash, so the games dip in quality can probably be traced back to that. They tried rebooting them with the Legend of Spyro series, but they tanked. Now Spyro is a featured character in Skylanders and, well...
