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.

Zelda II: The Adventure of LinkZelda II: The Adventure of Link is the second major installment in The Legend of Zelda series and the direct sequel to the first game. Like its predecessor, it features dungeons that must be located in the overworld and searched for an item that will prove useful. However, the game presents many very important gameplay changes compared to the previous one, affecting especially the movements and the combat. Moving around the world map involves encounters with enemies that take place on a side-scrolling playfield rather than the top-down perspective for which the series became known.Action Fantasy Sandbox

The GooniesThe Goonies is based on the Steven Spielberg film of the same name.
The game is divided into a series of eight screens based on scenes from the film, each of which contains puzzles that must be solved by coordinating the activities of two of the kids from the Goonies (and in the last screen, the elephant-man-like Sloth) without getting killed by deadly bats, homicidal Fratellis, flying demon-skull thingies, or other environmental hazards.Action
TutankhamTutankham is a combination of the maze, action and shoot 'em up genres. Taking on the role of an explorer grave robbing Tutankhamun's tomb, the player is chased by creatures such as asps, vultures, parrots, bats, dragons, and even curses, all that kill the player on contact. The explorer can fight back by firing lasers at the creatures, but he can only cover the left and right directions. The player is also endowed with a single screen-clearing "flash bomb" per level or life. Finally, each level has warp zones that teleport the player around the level, which enemies cannot use.
To progress, the player collects keys open locked doors throughout the levels, searching for the large exit door. Optional treasures can be picked-up for bonus points. Each level has a timer; when it reaches zero the explorer can no longer fire lasers, and once a level is cleared the remaining time is converted to bonus points.Action
