    It was fun watching this. My name is Craig Stitt and I was one of the artists/art director for the original three Spyro games. I’d like to offer a few comments and/or corrections on this list of 101 facts.
    #4 and #6. The order of events here was in fact a little different. After Disruptor, we pitched a dragon game to Universal. The original concept had you starting out as a hatchling and growing into a colossal dragon. It was then that Mark Cerny suggested that it would be better to target the game at a younger crowd and to keep the dragon young (pointing out sequels would be much easier if we kept the dragon young)
    #5 That’s me, and dragons are still as cool they come!
    #9 We were very aware that “Pete” was the name of the the little boy in “Pete’s Dragon” (it’s kind of in the title of the movie). It was the inversion of the names that we thought was fun.
    #10 It is true that “Pete” was meant to be just a working title, but after so many months of calling him Pete some of us did become very attached to the name.
    #12 I remember Brian Hastings being a little peeved that someone at Sony got credit for coming up with Spyro when, in it truth, he had pitched that name several months earlier.
    #14 As pointed out, Spyro did start out green. Not only was he getting lost running around on all that grass, but there were sa few other games that had green characters (Gex, Croc and I think at least one more) We wanted to separate ourselves from them. I still have the original VHS tape that I put together to help chose what color to make Spyro. (I’m working on getting it converted to digital so I can get it out for everyone to see.)
    #30 The real story of how we ended up with “Gnorcs’ is a kind of funny. We were talking about the game and there was some discussion about what to call the enemies. Some liked Gnomes while others like Orcs. While in the middle of conversation someone’s tongue got twisted and he said ‘Gnorc’, and we suddenly knew we had our name.
    #41 The name “Bryan” carved into the castle wall in Summer Forest was for my son, Bryan. It was after seeing this that Oliver Wade approached me and said he also had a son named Bryan, and a daughter named Brenda. He then asked if I could also hide her name somewhere in the game.
    #49 I’d forgotten all about the squid!!
    #54 I’d also forgotten all about getting the Shemp!
    One fun fact that I didn’t see here is Dan Johnston, one of the animators at Insomniac. Somehow he ended up as a sort of company mascot. At some point someone scanned in his driver’s license and his face started showing up hidden all around the game. The two I can remember off hand are a gold coin and a wanted poster. His face is also hidden here and there in the Ratchet & Clank games.
    I don’t think any of us would have dared dream that 20 years later Spyro would still be as big as ever and have more than a dozen games!

      @gospyro Since I'll likely never bump into someone who worked so closely on the games ever again, I want to thank you for lending a hand in creating one of my childhood fictional friends that I hold so dear to my heart. Without Spyro's existence, I wouldn't have the fond memory of when I asked my dad if he recognized the main theme for the first game - to which he did immediately - shortly before he passed away. Spyro will have a special place in my heart and a reminder of when my dad used to look up shortcuts when I got stuck. I only wish my dad was still alive today to hear that Spyro is returning with even more of a kick. Thanks to this spunky purple dragon, whenever I see a dragon, he's the first to come to mind. And he is probably the only reason why I place sentimental value on dragons at all. So thank you so so much.

    As a huge fan of dragons since I was little, I was absolutely stoked that there was a video game where you could play one! On my Playstation!! I used to be subscribed to Playstation Magazine way back in the day and I loved that the demo/info discs that came with did interviews with people who created the game and Copeland himself discussing how he was inspired and created the music. -sigh- the old days...thanks for telling me about the reboot of the first three with updated graphics, I'll have to check them out once I can find out where to get them. I'm also glad you could choose to select the original music...it had such a great magical quality to them. I was always bummed that Carlos Alazraqui didn't stay as Spyro. I thought it suited him well.

      That's harsh. Maybe there are fans who genuinely enjoy the series for what they are, with or without Spyro. Don't let nostalgia blind you to that simple fact. I may be miffed that Mario has a better record than Sonic and would never touch his games but I can't tell people that he should never be played. That's going too far.
