But even with all the nostalgia and hype at Spyro’s backing, can he make a tremendous comeback just as Crash did, or should he have been left in the past with all the other platformer mascots of yesteryear?
Luckily for fans they’re prayers have been answered. The three Spyro games on the original PlayStation are often looked back upon fondly by most, especially with a lot of Spyro’s most recent forays being far removed from his sought out past. There has been a lot of clamor for the purple hero to make a comeback, with it garnering even more steam ever since Crash Bandicoot was remade on current generation hardware. His older brother was the first to take a crack at bringing platforming to the 3rd dimension, however Spyro was the one to truly traverse in a 3D world just like Mario. Accompanying him was our little, scaly friend, Spyro the dragon.
Although the platforming mascot that was synonymous with the original PlayStation was the furry bandicoot known as Crash, he wasn’t alone to champion the genre on Sony’s first home console.
