Here's an early promo video for the 2011 game.

"Yar's Revenge," that was the one for the Atari 2600, about 35 years ago, right?

Nowadays you can get the old Atari 2600 games all on one joystick, that plugs into your TV!

But if you had an original Playstation, did you have any of the "Spyro The Dragon" games?
I have the Playstation 2, it plays Playstation games with a Playstation 1 memory card.
So I can still play the Insominiac Spyro games!
