Playing this again, it felt like I was lost in time in the year 1999. This game definitely deserves a remaster, maybe thats never gonna happen because it plays a little outdated, but the sounds, the soundtrack and the fun of this game is tremendously good. I never completed this game before, because at the time I was a kid that rarely fully completed all the games I had. But I had such a good time with this one, so for me this was the reason to play it again from scratch till the end. The part that reminded me the most was the intro and the first tutorial level "Nowhere". Played this so many times again and again.
Now, that I completed this game for the first time I really can say that the fun is precisely still there. If you still digging PS1 games and don't focus too much on the graphics, you really have to give this one a spin. It's maybe one of the best platform games on PS1. It's easy, the collectibles are enjoyable to gather and to me, this game don't harp on the same string too much. The hardest level was mainly the last "Mine or Mine" level. It took me 3 runs to collect every yellow carrot and clocks, and if you pass the finish line you really have to start over from the beginning of the level to start the Mine section, which can be frustrating. But overall, this game feels like timeless magic and I'm very proud to have this in my collection again. If you love the first Spyro games, you probably gonna like this one too because this game is mainly about completing items in a variety of levels, including amusing puzzle elements and a wonderful soundtrack. It's definitely not the same like Spyro, but it holds that nostalgia feeling from playing those platform games based on collecting various items. (Note: If you wanna play PS1 games again and don't have an old CRT yet, I would really recommend it because it makes your retro games great again!)
