Spyro?
Indeed! Spyro 3, the fireworks factory
I rented this game for what must’ve been weeks and for some reason there were only two gems between me and that 120% specifically on this map.
I unlocked everything else, even the power to have Sparx point out the nearest gem. And the two missing ones were on top of a set piece building completely out of bounds. Bought the game for my birthday and the save files didn’t work and the gems weren’t on top of the towers anymore.
Edit: Can anyone make sense of why that might happen on a rented ps1 game?
I thought I recognized this place!
I hear the music in my head
This whole series was full of liminal spaces
This level's music is the "please hold" track in my brain.
LiminalSpace
Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.
