It would be awesome if someone invented a realistic dragon simulator, where there's an ecosystem and everything, along with randomly generated civilizations which you can help or destroy.

This. A thousand times this. I really wish someone would step up and make a game like this.

I posted that idea on the off chance that a video game developer was reading this thread

Hahaha. 

When you say ecosystem it makes me think of the Monster Hunter games. They're one of the only series I've seen that take dragons (wyverns, technically) and put them in a... if not entirely realistic, at least well-thought-out ecological framework. But then, that works because they're essentially just big animals, not the sapient/magical style that shows up in generic fantasy.

I'd love any game with a fleshed-out fictional ecosystem, especially one where you could play as one of the creatures.

Especially if you can play as a frickin flying, fire-breathing, knight-munching dragon.

I think it's interesting that people have such a strong fascination about dragons, yet very few good dragon games have been released.  Perhaps because it's hard to put a dragon in a game anything without losing its mystery, beauty, and allure - Making them human enough to be connected to, but not so human that they're understood.

While we're at it, Spyro was a platform dragon game.  Technically you're a dragon, but you might as well be Flying/Gliding Mario.  I was never really impressed by it, but I didn't play it much.

wow you just triggered a fond memory I had of an mmo game called Horizon, you could be a dragon and you grew in to a flying huge dragon at higher levels. The crafting in that game was cool also.

id search for the game coz im sure its still around under a differnt guise but i cant as work blocks most places on the "internets".

It's called Istaria now, I believe, if nobody else has already supplied a link or info.

Choice of Dragon = Awesome. Just saying, and watching in case anything equally awesome shows up.

All three PS1 Spyro games were fun. The rest is not as good, I'd say.

Spyro never left the PS1. Some evil ugly distant cousin took his name.

[Aklyon]

Definitely a better idea.

Ah, is that how it went?

Yes, yes.. That sounds better..

My mind is suddenly at ease now..

Too bad they never made any sequels.

Also, I don't believe a link has been provided for Choice of Dragon, so here:  {link}

There is only one Matrix. It was pretty cool and the ending was perfect with no room for any sequels. Too bad it didn't have dragons in it.

There is a game where you make a blood pact with a dragon and can thus control the warrior and the dragon.

No I am not talking about Drakengard

I just can't remember what it is called.

Drakan: Order of the Flame. Infinitely fun to fly and glide around in that game, loved it when I was younger.

Posting to watch.

I recall some budget game where you play as a dragon for the PS1.  It was really meh, and seemed to have an odd cartoony kind of child targeted theme to the plot, But at the same time it seemed kinda...dark. It involved the dragon you played as messily devouring orcs to restore your health during gameplay.  And dragons are being fed into some orc magic thingymagigy assembly line style.  Makes you wonder what kind of audience it was aimed at.  Your dragon escapes and collects some dragon eggs with the help of a fairy who clearly aspires to be a more annoying Navi. 

The game in general was not great, but it had some interesting stages here and there.  Unfortunately it was all mission based so it wasn't any kind of freeroam thing that seems to be the holy grail folks are looking for.   Also I forget the title.
