I played the old PS1 Spyro games a lot when I was younger, and I knew about Crash and did play it a few times at a friend's house but I would say I like the Spyro games a lot more.
I am so pumped for crash!!! I used to play it all the time as a kid, and I still would if my disk wasn't scratched to the point where it's no longer playable. I'm going to get it for switch right away though!
I seriously cannot choose between both of them. Both of them have affected my childhood in such a good way and made me laugh. Some say I like Crash more because I went with Crash Purple over Spyro Orange, but eh. if I could, I would have gotten both! but money is tight at all times too. And besides, so many games, so little time.
