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restored version would allow both longtime fans and newcomers to experience this hidden gem without resorting to outdated hardware or complex emulation.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.
