Is it still worth playing?

Insomniac Games' 2000 platformer for the PlayStation, the third Spyro, in which the purple dragon travels to the Forgotten Realms to recover dragon eggs stolen by an evil sorceress. The eggs are scattered across 37 levels, hidden or given as rewards for tasks. Those levels hang off homeworlds, large hubs with gateways to many others, and reaching the next hub means completing five worlds, gathering enough eggs and beating a boss. Not every egg is needed to finish the main game, and some can only be found by coming back later. Along the way, gems hidden in crates and jars buy things from a bear named Moneybags. Hubs you can leave and come back to, with eggs to pick up later, still let you play at your own pace today.
