Spyro

Dragon Wings At Twilight

by

Got my weekly dose of Spyro out of the way! I spent a good few hours getting through the Summer Forest World.

The difficulty curve has really ramped up compared to last week’s excursion. I had to redo one of the speedway maps more times than I care to remember, and then there was my adventures in the mine cart of DOOM.

I’m pretty sure I spent almost an hour trying to get it right, but eventually I prevailed and collected all of the METAL GEARS.

Once again it was a nice escape for the evening! I gained a few achievements, and moved the plot along enough now that I’ll move onto something else tomorrow night.

Week Of The Dragon

by

Throughout the work week I made my lunch time gaming about one game, and one game only. Spyro, modded to be as colourful as my gaming hardware. I’ve been trying to 100% each level and homeworld, and I’ve finally made it to Beast Makers! I’ve decided to leave off to venture into other worlds. I’ve made enough progress to be happy for now, and I always savor a game more when I take my time… unless it’s good enough to play over and over again! 😀

I should pay a visit to the Nexus again to see if there are more entertaining mods.

Playing Spyro To Keep Warm

by

I had a nice quiet evening to myself, a bit of a cold bite in the air, and managed to have a little fun with some Proton Powered Spyro to help heat up the room. Now if I could just figure out how to get a mod manager to work properly under Proton or Wine it would be perfect. I even managed to get a couple achievements/trophies at the same time! One funny thing that did happen was finding a sleeping sky bat; usually they hang from the ceiling in the ice cave.

Old games catch me off guard to this day

I wasn’t aware there were dedicated flying levels in Spyro. I’ve been having fun trying to get all of the treasure. I’m not sure yet if there is a dragon to free in this level, but it has been amusing trying to grab all of the rings and other stuff. It also looks like everything is made of giant gems. :happy: Of course up in the top right is a counter, you have a limited time to collect everything and everything you can collect time for each item you destroy/fly into. That I have yet to properly time. :zorak:

It’s kind of a weird transition if you think about it. For most of the game you can’t really fly, glide yes but never fly… Now all of a sudden for this level you can fly? I wasn’t aware there was a Spyro that could put the entire Superman64 game to shame. :v:
