Amber Colyer writes: "Trailing a few years after its predecessor, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! was released for the PS1 in November 1999. The sequel saw the return of the titular hero, Spyro, and his butterfly-murdering sidekick, Sparx. With some better-looking models, stages, colors and overall environment, a much younger me was beside herself to play the title after completing the first game.
Now, many years later, I've dusted off the barely held-together case to revisit another gem from the past. The question at hand is: does it hold up to my fond memories of frustration, tears and joy?"
Rumors suggest that Vicarious Visions, the same team that worked on the excellent Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, would be back to bring the little purple dragon’s classic games into the limelight once again later this year. Not only is that a great idea, it’s the perfect time to show developers exactly how sequels can and should build on their predecessors.
Pure Playstation: Life coaches charge an arm and a leg for their "guidance". And yet all of their knowledge can be traced back to two unlikely gurus, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon.
What these two don't know about life isn't worth knowing!
Read the eight life lessons we all learnt from these nineties legends.
Hopefully with Crash being remastered it might be enough to persuade them, fingers crossed.
Spyro is my childhood and the first PlayStation game I ever played. I need it back
Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped was the 2nd, got them both with a PlayStation for my birthday and some other games
My PS1 is out nearly as much as the PS4.
Pacman World is worth a look if you haven't already - it's got its faults but the 3D graphics and difficulty make it quite addictive. It goes from not bad-hard to insane-hard and back again! It is deemed "rare" so it's not always the cheapest buy, but well worth it. And it has Pacman original as a choice in the start menu so win win.
James Pettegrow takes a look back at one of the most fondly remembered PlayStation games.
I was playing Spyro 2 these days as well, now i started Year of the Dragon.
Great games, sadly we will not see a good Spyro game anymore.
I could never figure out which platformer I liked more when it came to the PS1. Spyro or Crash/ I still can't choose to be honest.
