*NOTE: This is an unedited archive of a live no-commentary playthrough originally streamed on Twitch (twitch.tv/bippoernesti), which means there may be deaths, restarts or intermissions/interruptions.

117% playthrough (with Skill Points) of the PAL Platinum version of Spyro 3. Played on a PS1. The blue screen that blinks briefly at the start is from the HDMI adapter I use. I presume due to the multiple languages, the PAL version has lower audio quality in cutscenes, though outside the cutscenes the audio is clearer.

Technically it's just "Spyro: Year of the Dragon", but there really is no reason to omit the 3 from the title, yet for some reason, just like Crash Bandicoot 3 where it's technically just "Crash Bandicoot: Warped", they removed the 3 from the title. So dumb.

A playthrough that's been a long time coming, meant to follow up the Crash trilogy with Spyro way back in 2021, but somehow managed to procrastinate for half a decade. It took me a good while to get a copy of Spyro 3 since the PS3 (PSone Classics) version which I had runs like mud, and the system had a little trouble properly emulating the discs, so I went with my old PS1, which is a bit blurrier, but at least it's accurate.

Playing this disc on the PS3 had some issues where in-game voices would fade out prematurely, and in cutscenes all sounds and voices were both desynced and would start to glitch out in longer cutscenes (e.g. Hunter's Tussle), which were the primary reasons for playing on actual hardware.
