Spyro: Year of the Dragon (Insomniac Games, 2000), the third entry in the Spyro series (Various, 1998–present), was the first game to feature a brand new copy-protection system that meant it was “booby-trapped” against piracy. As a result, it took far longer to find a way to crack the game’s code. The star of his own game series for the PlayStation and PS2, Spyro later joined the ensemble cast of Skylanders.
