Classic Spyro was a masterclass in making a game for kids

I loved the original Spyro trilogy on the ps1. Now, more than twenty years later, I want to look back and talk at you about why I think these games were and still are so magical for kids (and adults.) This originally started out as a much longer criticism of The Legend of Spyro: A new beginning, but I didn't like mixing the two ideas together. So that video will be coming next. I hope you enjoy them. 00:00 Intro 01:25 Likeable Characters 03:28 Power Fantasy 04:24 Visually Appealing/accessible platforming 05:22 Tactical Combat 07:54 Mission Variety/freedom of choice 09:10 Conclusion
