Spyro the Dragon - That Game Rules! Ep 057

Time for some dragon tales today, featuring our favorite purple 90s dragon with an attitude: Spyro the Dragon. At a time when Nintendo was fighting to keep up with the adult oriented games of the PlayStation, Sony was taking a swing at the plumber himself trying to develop a game to appeal to the younger generation. In flies Spyro in all his sheep roasting, gnorc chirping glory. Ready to collect that treasure and save a bunch of elderly, senile old dragons? Let's fire it up on another retro episode of That Game Rules!  On our trip to the past, we look at Sony's State of Play back in 1998, starting with the hottest new tech: The Discman. Electronic skip protection and Bass Boost?? Shut up and take my money. Plus, we discuss more movies and cartoons from the 90s and take a look at the landscape of gaming back then with the Playstation, N64, and Dreamcast. Of course, you weren't really rad if you weren't rocking Britney or NSYNC on those Hit Clips...  As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at [email protected]  Search for “That Game Rules!” on Facebook – YouTube – Instagram – TikTok
