About This Game

The wicked Gnasty Gnorc has turned every dragon in the Dragon Lands to crystal, and made off with their gems — locking them away in chests or twisting them into soldiers for his army. But he overlooked one little dragon: Spyro. Now it is up to Spyro to journey across the dragon kingdom, shatter his kin from their crystal prisons, recover the stolen gems, and bring down Gnasty Gnorc.
