Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos Remastered brings the classic 1999 platformer to modern systems with updated graphics, new features, and a full Croc2pedia museum.
Argonaut Games has officially announced Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos Remastered, a modern revival of the beloved 1999 3D platformer originally released on PlayStation, Game Boy Color, and PC CD-ROM.

What Is the Story of Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos?
The adventure begins when Professor Gobbo witnesses the villainous Dantinis resurrecting Baron Dante, leading to his capture. Soon after, Croc discovers a bottle washed ashore in Gobbo Valley, containing a message from his biological parents.
