Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Spyro Year of the Dragon more specifically. (he was in the Ripto's Rage also)

Decided to look at Year of the Dragon on the wiki... I raged so many times on levels from falling.

I never played Year of the Dragon. I only played the first two games, so I wouldn't know.

I browse r/gaming pretty frequently, and I have seen a ton of posts with a picture of this bear in the 10 months I've been on reddit. They are usually titled "fuck this guy", or "Did anyone else hate this guy"..etc. I have no idea who this character is (and to tell the truth, I don't really care), but I have come to hate him too. Fuck this bear.

Bless this guy, bless this game, bless my childhood ! I never completed Spyro 3, at the end there was some weird bug that resets the first kangaroo level thus locking all next kangaroo levels.Despite that, it was damn good time.

[–]PenguinBomb 2 points3 points ago

Never completed Spyro 3 either, lost interest. But I did love Spyro as a child.

Spyro ..... as a child. When the hell did I get so old.?

[–]StephenisCool 2 points3 points ago

Well, it did first come out 13 years ago, which even by being old standards is a long ass time.

That was part of the anti-piracy protection.

[–]swired 1 point2 points ago

I had this bug on PS1, "finished" the game about 3 times, every time it sent me back to the beginning, bought it on PS3 and finally finished it (plus the bonus world) without problems.

[–]bledolikiq 2 points3 points ago

PS3 games are not region locked. The PS3 still region locks PS1 games and DVD movies.

Best Spyro ever. I also loved the 2D levels with your sprite.

Those levels scared the shit out of me as a little kid.

So. Many. Spiders.

[–]Leikiz 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I understand your pain. Going to the final level in Spyro 1 at 99% completion would bug the game and make it impossible to open the level. If that's not a complete fuck-you then I don't know what is.

Also, fuck that bear.

You could use the ePSXe Emulator and Emuparadise.com

But, to legally play the games, you need to actually own the CDs...... not that anyone's going to know

Had to use strikethrough because I can't figure out how to use (/spoiler) for the life of me, and I'm a computer techie.

[–]amanwithoutaplan 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

lolol i was looking at that emulator and i was wondering if i could plug in my 360 controller and map the buttons. i have the spyro games but they are a bit scratched.....

[–]kitten_slapper[S] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes you can! That's exactly what I do! Make sure you set the controller to DualShock. You'll need:

zlib.dll goes in the Parent folder, where ePSXe.exe is located, the BIOS goes in the "bios" folder, and Pete's GPU goes in the plugins.

When Selecting BIOS, you'll want SCPH1001.BIN, if you're playing NTSC-U.

how do i configure the controller do i need a plugin for that too?

[–]amanwithoutaplan 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

and do you have xp? because i found 360 drivers that are for xp/2000 wondering if they will still work

[–]kitten_slapper[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

zlib1.dll is the only file you need in the Parent folder from the zlib.rar.

If the 360 controller is plugged in, you should be able to map the controls via Config > Gamepad > Port 1 > Pad 1. All you have to do is click the control box and press the button the 360 remote.

I am using Vista, but I don't see XP being a problem. Look for new drivers here.

It seems like /r/ gaming really identifies with Spyro. Did I miss something? It always seemed like a mediocre forgettable platformer to me, but most people here have a fanatical devotion to it.

You evidently never played the first three games, the new ones are horrible :/

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

Spyro 1, 2 and 3 one the PS1 were some of the best 3D platformers I've ever played.

[–]ricecows 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I only ever played Spyro 1 and 2, and they were amazing. I actually prefered Spyro to Crash Bandicoot, as it was more open.

[–]Takuya-san 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Any of the games after the first three are pretty mediocre forgettable platformers. The first three were great games, but I wouldn't play them unless you're playing them for nostalgic purposes (and you obviously wouldn't be) simply because there's a lot of better games you can be wasting your time with.

That said, the games were brilliant for their time and if you had asked me about them when they were first out I would have recommended them over just about any other game available.

[–]bongowongowongo 0 points1 point ago

Oh fuck this guy, he was a prick sometimes I think of him as Gene Simmons when ever I replay the game, since he will charge you a certain amount of everything and all he wants is money just like Gene Simmons.
