Who here doesn’t remember Spyro? While I never actually played any of the Spyro games myself, I definitely remember the commercials for the first PS1 game. For some reason, they went out of their way to portray the title character as a pyromaniac who preys on sheep. A little misleading? Probably. Entertaining? Definitely. So the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) present to you some of the first Spyro commercials in this week’s Retro Wrap-Up.
Here are the highlights of this past week.
