Anachronisms, in my MediEvil? It's more likely than you think. Things out of place, out of time... From calcium supplements and tea trays to toast racks and shopping malls.

On this day in 2007 (19 years ago), MediEvil was added to the PlayStation Store in Europe. However, it was removed a few days later due to "failing at the third level." This was likely due to LibCrypt copy protection. The game was added back to the store on September 20, 2007.

On this day three years ago, PlayStation Productions finalised a promotional video that featured Sir Dan. This was because they were working on a MediEvil film at the time. As of 2025, the film is no longer in production.

Did you know? MediEvil's Ant Caves used to have bats in them. This is because they were originally caves of man-sized ants. This also explains the cave paintings found within.

ECTS '98 Spyro statue

Don't suppose anyone knows what happened to this Spyro?

He was featured at the European Computer Trade Show (ECTS; kind of like a European E3) in 1998, along with several other statues of game characters Sony was showcasing at the time, including Crash, Sir Daniel Fortesque, and Jin Kazama. The Sir Dan statue from the event was sold on eBay ages ago and is now privately owned, not sure about the others though. The event took place in the UK.

You can see more of this Spyro and a short interview with one of the developers here: https://youtu.be/a9Bbe59pL20?si=CJvW9sLDTGhVOaAI&t=537
