I'm so glad I found this topic, I LOVE Spyro! I own 1 - 5, but don't really like 4 & 5 because they're just not like the 'old' Spyro.
Spyro 1 was the first game I got when I was little, I played it every day. First, I was unable to beat the game because for some reason my game always froze when I entered Stone Hill. Man, that really pissed me off. Also, it took me quite a long time to finish the Doctor Shemp level because I was afraid of that guy.
So many good memories... I could talk about Spyro all day. The music, the gameplay, it's just awesome!
Actually, I want to play it right now after reading this topic.
