Spyro - Year of the Dragon OST: Sunny Villa

[@BigDLiquor]

It's the early 2000s, you still young, nothing to worry about. You sit on the floor with the morning sun shining. It's summer don't know what you're gonna do all day, but you at least know morning is going to be spent playing this. And your black/silver square tv is blasting this song.

[@crs2385]

Yeah you've painted a real picture of our childhoods there man. The early 00's. Those where the days

[@beanholder3634]

I've held on to my PS1 and copy of Spyro 3, every couple of years I play through it to reminisce on those times

[@Hindbodes]

I can't relate, I have a CRT right now because of a borderline-impulsive Trinitron purchase I did some time after lockdown ended, and my first time ever playing the third Spyro game was about 12 months ago. Even though Spyro 2 was a big part of my upbringing I don't really reminisce on that, either. I think my ability to recall is too powerful for old media to hit me that way. I kind of just enjoy Playstation games in the present tense. I couldn't even beat the damn things as a kid... Out of time as it looks, a 2020s Playstation and heavy chunky TV setup beats emulating every time for me... or remasters, for that matter.

[@tlozfolife5333]

Perfectly embodied my childhood...wish I could go back sometimes

[@Hindbodes]

Bad news guys, my CRT broke down this year. I'm not willing to move my PS1 out of the cabinet to put it back on the flat TV, either... I have to get my Trinitron repaired. I still have never 100% beaten the first Crash Bandicoot game.

I feel so sorry for kids growing up nowadays. They will never experience anything quite like this. I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to play this during my childhood.

[@TheRichardGHP]

This comment definitely aged.

[@saiyanjohn9212]

They did come out with the Spyro Reignited, but I always prefer the original from the PlayStation 1. The newer graphics doesn't have the same charm. The original music setting helps, but something still doesn't feel the same about it.

[@queencancerous5332]

Saiyan John nah, a lot of these models are outdated and of very poor quality now. Nice to see them resemble the original artists intention.

[@IkesDaddelbox]

@@queencancerous5332 Same. I'm a Sega kid, but played Ps1 at my friend's. As much as I love the originals, the Reignited Trilogy (same as the N.Sane Trilogy) is a major improvement in almost every way. Almost.

[@CronicasDeGisthia]

Don't feel sorry for that. Kids 'nowadays' have their own experiences and will remember them just as you do with Spyro. To each their own.

What’s amazing about all three games is that over 2 decades later, I’ll still complete the entire trilogy 100% or more (depending on the game) over and over and OVER. This is a perfect series. It’s replayable forever

[@Pliskin2894]

I remember every morning before school when I was little playing this with my cousin. I would go over to his house every morning on school days and play this for a little bit, and then go there after school and play it some more! That was when I was 6-11. Time flies!

[@maddogpatches]

before school? what time was school lol

[@Pliskin2894]

@@maddogpatches I can't remember honestly, maybe like 7am or so? My mom went to work super early so I would be over at his house cause they lived a bit closer to the school than we did. I think I would be over at their house around 5-5:30.

[@gseric4721]

I still remember hearing this new, fresh sound as a kid to the Spyro franchise and was just blown away. Don't even get me started with the skateboarding. Spyro 3 was just incredible with the new innovation they brought to this game.

[@3godzilla3]

Year of the Dragon was my first video game, AND my favorite Spyro game. 😄

[@gseric4721]

@@3godzilla3 That's awesome! My mind is constantly at war on which one is better, 1 or 3 😂😂

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

If you're looking for a fast paced collectathon game with plenty of freedom, is easy to speedrun and has no fat, Spyro 1 is the best. If you're looking for a complete, challenging and varied game with tons of stuff to do, has a compelling story, and offers collectathon action at its polished peak, Spyro 3 is the best. Spyro 3 is my pick, one of my favourite games ever made. Spyro 1 I don't play as often and it does get monotonous after a while, but I still enjoy it for what it is and I can understand the preference for it. Some other comment: What about Spyro 2? Me: i prefer not to talk about that one.

[@gseric4721]

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 I definitely agree with you on just how amazing the story is with Spyro 3. But do you really think Spyro 3 is more difficult than Spyro 1? I tried playing Spyro 1 again a few years back and I literally had to go to an online wiki for help. *Never* had to do that with Spyro 3. I have no idea how me and my siblings were able to beat Spyro 1 when we were kids 🤣🤣

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

@@gseric4721 Spyro 1 does require the player to explore and pay attention to find pretty much everything (I did look up some walkthroughs, though I did the same for the other two games), but some of Spyro 3's content, particularly the snowboard race, is absolutely brutal on a first try. I guess the extra variety kind of creates the illusion of challenge, so maybe Spyro 1 is the more consistently hard game overall. I'll need to replay both games.

Mee too. Felt like i was playing Tonk Hawks XD

[@Idothinkysaurus]

This game was 4 year old me's LIFE! This and Crash 2 were all I played, starting from the beginning of each, over and over again until someone in the household found a PS1 memory card that one of my older sisters lost. Then I got to discover how impressively vast Spyro 3 was. That game was huge for a PS1 game. So much to do and explore, and I still never got past the big treasure door at the end of the game.

[@creepycomputer]

This is one of my favourite Sony PlayStation One videogames. I really love the Spyro The Dragon game series. I got Spyro Year of the Dragon as a birthday present in early 2002 and I still have it in my game collection.. I have it in my possession for over twenty years and it still does not bore me. Sunny Villa is such a cute level to play. One of my favourite levels in Spyro Year of the Dragon. And the music that has been made by Stewart Copeland gave me my interest in The Police, the former American-British rockband that Copeland was the drummer from. Spyro and Stewart Copeland is a great combination!

Guys, this is the best you can have. It doesn't get any better ! Take a minute to let that sink in.
