About this deal

Development of Spyro: Year of the Dragon spanned about ten and a half months, from November 1999 to September 2000; the development team was influenced by a host of other games, including Doom and Crash Bandicoot. [4] Among the new features touted before the game's release was "Auto Challenge Tuning", which Insomniac CEO Ted Price described as "invented to even out the gameplay difficulty curve for players of different abilities". [5] The levels were made much larger than those in Spyro 2, so that more areas for minigames could be added; to prevent player confusion on where to go next, these areas were designed to load separately from the main hubs. [5] Price stated that the addition of critters was a way to make the game more enjoyable and varied, instead of just adding more moves for Spyro. [4] The game was named Year of the Dragon because it released during the year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac. [4]
