The original Spyro the Dragon game was released on the PlayStation back on September 9th, 1998. It’s amazing to think that the game is now over 23 years old but the classic 3D platformer went on to inspire over 20 games to be released featuring the purple dragon. Now fans are coming together to celebrate its monumental anniversary.
