Man, I need to dust off my PS2 and see if it still works. This shit was my childhood, and with everything going on right now, I good use a healthy dose of reliving the past.
I got 3 ps2 and this game. The disk is ruined to the point where it just self locks on the transition to the second part of the game. Luckily I ordered a new copy recently. I bin buying old ps2 games recently instead of newer games for more modern consoles.
This was THE very first video game I ever played. I had gotten stuck at the first elder trying to make the ledge jump to exit, (before you laugh remember I’d never played a game before and I was probably 5) I asked my big brother who in my eyes was way better at games than me for help making the jump. He said, “you’ll never learn how to get over ledges if I always do it for you, figure it out or stop playing” I spent the next embarrassing hour trying to make that stupid jump but I eventually I did it. I cheered for myself in elation and was proud that I could do something on my own that at the time seemed super hard. I continued to play the game and later beat it. It wouldn’t be for several years later that I would realize the importance of what my brother did for me. By making me do it on my own I had to figure out how to make that jump, or give up and quit the game. I learned that I wouldn’t always have help with problems and that I was capable of more if I tried hard enough. One of the most important life lessons I’ve ever learned and it started with a video game. This game truly is special to me, and you better believe that I cried when I accidentally saved over my original first ever saved game file. (Well done by the way TheMoonRover on the challenges, especially the timed ones. An outstanding play through, truly.)
As soon as the video started, I knew you were someone who knew what you were doing. The fact that, until 19:51, you didn’t take any damage while taking all the money in stride, all while making the penguin missions look easy is impressive. It makes watching further much more enjoyable than other playthroughs. I am awaiting for this game to come in the mail from eBay and watching this during quarantine surely helps pass the time.
@@thespudlord686 Pretty hateful thing to say to someone. It is 40% of a Spyro game though since it has 1 hub world, 8 levels and 1 boss while Spyro 1 has 5 hub worlds, 24 levels, 5 bosses also Spyro 2 has 3 hub worlds, 18 levels and 3 bosses, and Spyro 3 has 4 hub worlds, 25 levels, 5 bosses which proves my point. Enter the dragonfly was rushed and forced to be released during development which means they didn’t get to finish it. I like the game despite that and wish they would remake it.
Been on a journey of healing the inner child in me and this really brings out lots of memories. I can imagine myself at that time when certain sound effects play, dialogue, etc. This game was great
When my brother was young and I was even younger I remember watching him play this, I don’t think we ever beat it, and that penguin flying was hard! So many good hours were spent with this game though, thank you for the video
The copy I've had since childhood is glitched, I could never make it past Frostbite Village due to how bad the glitches were. Makes my heart warm to finally have found a long play! Kudos to you and your impressive gameplay!!
When I was a kid I admired the graphics of this game, after comparing it with the original PS1 trilogy. This was my first PS2 game and the change was noticeable
@@rac1equalsbestgame853 I mean yeah reignited isn’t a ps1 game of course it’s going to be graphically different It has its own unique charm because of the graphical differences
@rac1equalsbestgame853 honestly compare to a reignited and a hero's tale honestly reignited is way more appealing and charm when comes to art style and characters hell even spryo, the dragons, beatrice and elora are among my favorites in the remakes and also dude reusing old models wouldn't work at all enter the dragonfly is the prime example of that while heroes tale ehhhh i mean if had nostalgia for it and also sometimes to have to evolve you can't stay in the past forever my guy even if you liked the old designs in ps1 more
When The Professor asks Spyro about acquiring "heart pieces" and Spyro looks at the audience, I thought it was a quick callback to Ember's one-sided crush on him.
I got the remastered trilogy of spyro and completely forget about this game, this is def my favorite of the spyros. I remember when i would stay home from first grade just to play it. I was absolutely obsessed, wish i could play it again some day.
Lmao, thanks for this! I completed this game surprisingly when I was like 7 years old. I don't have the physical game anymore, but watching this makes you feel as though you're playing it yourself so you still get the satisfaction lol. Great job!
This was such a good game. Weird thing is its underated in the spyro series. I'd love a remake of this or even just a remaster would do. Find memories of this game
I’m glad this game is getting recognition. Everyone it was nostalgic, it just had cool levels. The environments were detailed and music just felt an adventure. I really wish I knew what Eurocoms direction would have been if they were to have held on to Spyro. Sadly they were defunct and all employees pretty much got fired. I wish them the best. I hope they know what a beautiful game they made. I mean the reception was yadda yadda it was easy, it was generic Spyro gameplay. It still had replay value and I would choose it over the crap we have now. I hope again Toys for Bob takes some notes on this game. Track down the composers and the designers.
Tips for making Red's first fight easy. Use wing shield to block the ice missiles (And ice spray on 3rd stage). Use Water breath to push the explosives faster and to stun him so he can't dodge the explosives.
Wait, you can use wing shield on those? That makes the whole fight so much easier. I guess there are probably other places it's useful as well. I just forget it's a thing once I finish with the balloon guys in Cloudy Domain.
@@TheMoonRover yeah its pretty useful. It prevents the arrows from the little gnorcs from damaging you too as well as the Mermaid enemies in Sunken Ruins that throw those Star things at you too. But it doesn't work on the Robo-nauts in Dark Mine And Red's lab tho
My ps 2 broke last year and now watching game plays of all spyro games and ctr It was good times now feeling happy watching this brings back good memories :D
I always come back to watch this video whenever I'm feeling down or nostalgic and 2:15:48 never fails to make me laugh. Just the tiny little "AA-" that gets cut off as he hits the ground is just weirdly funny to me
11:12 You earned my respect. 11:36 You earned yet another laugh of joy and happiness from me, and a like. (I consider A Hero's Tail the first real game i encountered Moneybags in. Maybe because i played it first or something, when it came to meeting him? His reaction to seeing you at times got me into hitting him with my horns and using Spyro's Breaths on him. Already annoying for my child-self basically xD. So this, is a pleasing experience for me to re-live! I Sure hope it will happen more, i have just started watching, so there's always a chance!!) Also hey, i really wish you'd have an answer and/or maybe anyone would notice this.. How Did You Play This?? My Playstation 2 died sometime early last year or the year before that, been so long idk anymore.. I miss playing these Spyro games so much! (My only Hope, Ps5 lets u play ps2 games. I will be gaming for hours with pure delight of my child allowed the joys of older days!! Of course, the chance may not be high enough ;/)
I played it on my PC using a PS2 emulator. You can find it at pcsx2.net along with tutorials on how to set it up, although you'll need a copy of the PS2 BIOS to run it (which legally you're _supposed_ to copy from an actual PS2). If you want to run it in widescreen, you'll also need to find a widescreen patch since this game doesn't natively support it. I don't remember where I found the patch though.
The Professor gets me every time with the references to other video game collectibles: the Power Stars and Red Coins from Super Mario Bros, and the Heart Pieces from Zelda, the Gold Tokens are clearly an Arcade reference. I wished Bianca was in this game, since the many characters from the original series had made their debuts up to this point. And lastly, there just wasn’t a lot of build up or backstory given for Ember and Flame, they’re just more dragons who are both voiced by Tara Strong. All and all though, this was a fun game all around, it didn’t matter to me that this wasn’t particularly challenging.
I just found my PS2 but my copy wasn't with it so I order it again and can't wait to play. It's one of my favorite Spyro games just behind year of the dragon
I last played this game in 2015 and my nostalgia is going wild, the sunken ruins took me what felt like a lifetime to complete, and the coastal remains tune reminds me of a girl I liked at the YMCA where I lived at the time, 2015 was not the best year of my life but this game rocked
This was my first ever Spyro game and I LOVED it. So much so that I borrowed a friend's copy of the original Spyro for PS1 & found it almost unplayable.
This game, man the memories. The mini games were stressful as a kid. There was ONE light gem in the mines level and I could not find it no matter how much searching I did, was last one to get 100% on that save.
I was a huge fan of the first three Spyros on PS1 but never played any later games, so this is the first time I've seen Hero's Tail. What I like is that there is a real feeling of 'exploration' to the levels, which was also the case in Spyro 1 but lacking in 2 and 3 where the levels were much more linear. What I don't like is that Spyro in this game is a total arsehole
Unlike the other Spyro games that weren't made by Insomniac, this game was truly faithful to the originals. Why they became more derivative of this I'll never understand.
PS2, Xbox and GameCube, released in 2004. It's the dragon realms with the dragon elders and gnorcs returning. I'm not sure if it explicitly says that in-game, but it does on the box and in the game manual.
3:12:37 Whoa whoa whoa wait... I completed this game as a kid, but I have zero recollection of this ball race in Cloudy Domain. Had I always missed it or was it just obliterated from my memory?
9:29 I remember when I was a kid, I never even knew what power stars, red coins, heart pieces, nor gold tokens were at ALL, cause I never heard about Mario 64 back then! And now that I know, I just have to ask the professor... you're not trying to cross worlds, are ya?
@@TheMoonRoverI know that the Power Stars and Red Coins are from Mario and the Heart Pieces are from Zelda, and I don’t know what the Gold Tokens are from.

I wish they’d remaster this one too, this game was my childhood
They definitely need to remaster this along with Enter the Dragonfly and The legend of Spyro series
I totally agree! This game was literally my most favorite as a kid for the Spyro games, and it still is my fav to this day!
@@Wolfpup748I would killed for a remaster of Legend of Spyro Trilogy. That was my personal favorite out of all Spyro Games... Minus Skylanders as that is a different game with Spyro.

they need to remaster all of the Spiro games at this point
Did I just watch all 7 hours?? Yes. Yes I did
This is my childhood yes I know I'm 13 but back in the day this was is what I would play and I remember it vividly
Did you watch it all at once or did you watch it in small parts?
You must of been bored lol
Same here.
4:02:51
Along with the original trilogy, this game was my childhood. Me and my mum always played it and enjoyed the exploration. Loved this game

other two?!?!

The spyro games mean a lot to me. I'm one of millions of others who grew up with the games. This game is especially meaningful.
You know you really gotta wonder just how many brain cells Spyro lost through-out the course of the game.
It would explain why he has to relearn abilities/friends' names every game
The asian kid: *Inhales*
dragons brains are in their butts
@@Ravenishish lol xD 😂
A million brain cells would be enough to kill a human. Dragons must have the ability to regenerate brain cells or something.
I had been hoping someone would upload this at better quality! I love falling asleep to these, thank you so much! c:
The spiders in Crocoville Swamp used to scare me when I was younger, but I recently just bought this game and I can’t wait to play it again!!!
This is the closest we get to a fourth Spyro game.
There might be a remaster of this.

I always find the _supposedly_ easy challenge harder than the hard challenge there.
"Ah there you are... My Favorite wallet" lol

Haven't played this game in years, but I remember it well. Can someone tell me if each individual egg corresponds to a specific column on the egg tracking page, or do they enter the row set in whatever order you get them in? I sadly assume it's the latter.
😭good old times this is pretty much my childhood game I never beat it and I can't even play it now :(
The nostalgia I’m getting from coming back here is crazy
Dude.... Just hearing the sound of collecting gems made me 10 again
Man I miss this game so much my favourite childhood game
2:05 I've never seen this game before, was it for PlayStation? I don't even know if your in the Dragon realm or Avalar
PS2, Xbox and GameCube, released in 2004. It's the dragon realms with the dragon elders and gnorcs returning. I'm not sure if it explicitly says that in-game, but it does on the box and in the game manual.
i was never a graphics snob as a child, but i remember being blown away by these graphics thinking it was next generation stuff
5:53:48 Hyenas laugh when under a lot of stress so this whole scene makes sense.

Whoa whoa whoa wait... I completed this game as a kid, but I have zero recollection of this ball race in Cloudy Domain. Had I always missed it or was it just obliterated from my memory?
3:13:37 "What are you doing!?" - Robbie Rotten
9:29 I remember when I was a kid, I never even knew what power stars, red coins, heart pieces, nor gold tokens were at ALL, cause I never heard about Mario 64 back then! And now that I know, I just have to ask the professor... you're not trying to cross worlds, are ya?
Same. I did wonder if it was a reference to other games, but I didn't realise it was Mario 64 until I played it last year.
@@TheMoonRover So it ain't just me that never played the game until 3D all stars... phew! That's actually relieving!
@@TheMoonRoverI know that the Power Stars and Red Coins are from Mario and the Heart Pieces are from Zelda, and I don’t know what the Gold Tokens are from.
