Wow, that game was amazing! I had the CD that came with a magazine back in the day... I remember my computer couldn't handle the game, so I took the CD with me on a trip to another city and tried playing it at a family friend's house. That's where I first played it and fell in love with the game.
Years later, we upgraded our home computer and I tried installing the game again. It worked, and I ended up playing it every day. Unfortunately, my CD suddenly cracked, and after that, I was never able to play again.
Croc and Croc 2 were my first introductoty games to Crash Banticoot on PC. I remember buying Croc 2 on jewel case cd rom buck at my nearest cash converters and I spent hours upon hours grinding through that game.
This game is still my favorite to play as well as other games also getting it downloading from gog would be easier rather than trying out source it from a website that could be hiding a virus - and when you also have the game on disc it never installs properly anymore because of the support on Microsoft being no longer supported
As I said on the page for Croc, both games are abandonware available on Archive and work on modern hardware, no tank controls either. This game was one I could never beat as a kid on Playstation but I was able to with the PC port and would say it was definitely worth it, very satisfying ending.
I hope GOG preserves both Croc titles and gives some TLC so we can play in high resolutions if possible.
Croc was a great game that now has a (reportedly) great remaster. But growing up, Croc 2 was the game we played the most on our old PC at home. Maybe it's because of the demo we had from a magazine that had a really cool level on it, but whatever the reason, Croc 2 is in dire need of preservation.
Why Croc 2 Needs to Be on GOG – And How It Could Lead to Croc 3
Croc 2, the colorful and charming 3D platformer from 1999, holds a special place in the hearts of gamers who grew up during the golden age of platforming. With its heartfelt story, quirky characters, and diverse worlds, Croc 2 built upon the foundation of the original Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and delivered an ambitious sequel that still resonates with retro fans today. Sadly, it's also a game that has become increasingly difficult to find and play on modern systems—making it a perfect candidate for a revival on GOG.
GOG’s focus on game preservation and compatibility with newer hardware is exactly what Croc 2 needs. A DRM-free, digitally restored version would allow both longtime fans and newcomers to experience this hidden gem without resorting to outdated hardware or complex emulation. More importantly, releasing Croc 2 on GOG would not just preserve a cult classic—it could serve as a test for fan demand.
With the recent resurgence of interest in classic platformers, GOG could be the perfect launchpad to show developers and publishers that the love for Croc is still alive. If Croc 2 performs well on GOG, it could spark serious conversations about a full-fledged Croc 3, finally giving fans the continuation they’ve wanted for over two decades.
In short, bringing Croc 2 to GOG isn’t just about reliving nostalgic memories—it’s about giving this lovable little crocodile another chance to shine, and maybe even make a triumphant return.
