15 years ago, the very first Spyro the Dragon game released in North America. Developed by Insomniac Games, publisher by Universal Interactive & distributed by Sony, the collectathon-platformer would go on to become a huge success, selling over 10 million copies between the first three releases.
After Insomniac's departure from the series, Spyro was handed from developer to developer. Two games (Enter the Dragonfly & A Hero's Tail) continued the original storyline; while a new trilogy (The Legend of Spyro) focused on new gameplay mechanics and a whole new story.
The IP is currently in the hands of Activision-Blizzard who most recently used Spyro as part of the original "Skylanders" games.
So, here's to you little dragon. You were a massive part of my childhood; you influenced my future gaming tastes for life; you gave me so many happy memories and I still regularly replay your games to this day.
