Meet Spyro the Dragon – he’s a feisty little flame-spouting dragon on a GIGANTIC ‘go-anywhere’ 3D fantasy adventure!

  • Packed with puzzles and enchanting adventures. Collect treasures, recover stolen family jewels and discover hidden regions.
  • Dragons come to life with hints as you free them from their spells. Enemies run and hide, hit each other, fire cannons, throw snowballs and even “moon” you.
  • Take full flight in secret Treasure Rounds. Shoot down planes, fly through rings and arches and more!

Enclosures

The original print run of Spyro the Dragon contained a Sweepstakes card to win a trip to L.A. and other prizes. The card itself is actually a giant accordion pamphlet that was too large to properly scan in and display, so we have just shown the scratch off side here. Besides the rules and entry form, it had an ad for the PlayStation Underground.
