Insomniac Games is a video game developing company. It is the company that originally developed the first three Spyro games, but is noted and stated that they never truly owned the rights to the Spyro series since Universal Interactive owned the Spyro franchise during the time. They developed the original Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
Insomniac Games announced after the release of Year of the Dragon that they would not create anymore Spyro games, marking the end of what some fans considered the "golden age" of Spyro games. Insomniac Games is known for other game franchises such as Ratchet & Clank and Resistance, and their friendly relationship with Naughty Dog game developers, who developed Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, and Uncharted.
In the Games
Spyro the Dragon
In the logo screen for Spyro the Dragon, a gnorc holds up a sign that has the original logo of Insomniac on it. After he plants the sign in the ground, the gnorc screams when he sees Spyro flying at him, and is thrown off the mountain he was on by the purple dragon.
Ripto's Rage!
In the logo screen for Ripto's Rage!, a bonebuilder is leaning on the sign until a dinosaur comes along and snaps it into pieces while attempting to eat the bonebuilder. Then, the title appears and the dinosaur runs into it.
Year of the Dragon
In the logo screen for Year of the Dragon, a ninja rhynoc is hiding behind the sign and it tries to steal an egg, but Spyro charges him. The egg flies up breaks the Insomniac sign and stops rolling in front of Spyro.
