The Story Behind Croc’s Adventure
In the original Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, players control Croc, a lovable crocodile on a mission to rescue his friends, the Gobbos, from the evil Baron Dante. The game was known for its simple yet addictive gameplay, where Croc would use his tail to defeat enemies and solve puzzles across colorful, whimsical worlds.
Why the Remaster?
Gary Sheinwald, co-CEO of Argonaut Games, shared his excitement about reviving the company and the game. He expressed how working on this project has brought him “full circle” since his days collaborating with Jez San, the founder of Argonaut Games, on their first big hit, Starglider, in 1986. He hinted that there are more exciting announcements to come, suggesting that Argonaut Games has big plans for the future.
Looking Forward to the Release
For both long-time fans and those new to the world of Croc, this remaster is an exciting opportunity to revisit or discover a classic. It promises to bring back the fun of the original game with new graphics, controls, and added content that honors its legacy while appealing to a modern audience.
