The Legend of Spyro - A New Beginning ROM

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning is an action-adventure video game developed by Krome Studios and published by Vivendi Universal Games for the Game Boy Advance, GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox; with Amaze Entertainment developing the Nintendo DS version, and The Mighty Trologodytes developing the European mobile version. The game was first released on October 10, 2006 in North America. It is the first game in The Legend of Spyro trilogy, and a reboot to the Spyro series.

A New Beginning uses a more action-based focus than previous Spyro games. Rather than the previous focus on platforming, the gameplay is now more combat based. Spyro has a variety of combat moves as well as four different breath attacks: fire, electricity, ice and earth, which he can use as both long range and short range attacks. Spyro can also use furies, huge blasts of elemental energy. The game has fewer levels than previous Spyro games, with six levels that progress from a starting point towards a final destination and boss encounter in a linear fashion, and two rail shooter style flying levels adjoining them. It takes about six hours to complete the game.

The game begins inside a temple, where a large red dragon named Ignitus is watching over an egg; it is the “Year of the Dragon” (not to be confused with the third Spyro game), a time every twelve years when new dragon eggs are brought to the realm. A dragons’ prophecy tells that every ten generations, a rare purple dragon will be born, who will direct the fate of that era; Ignitus is looking after such an egg.
