Croc Legend of the Gobbos v1.05

Croc Legend of the Gobbos is a warm, nostalgia-tinged platformer that successfully brings a 1990s classic into the modern era. You play as an endearing little crocodile - backpack, wiggly tail and all - who runs, jumps, climbs, swims and tail-spins through a variety of colourful worlds to rescue his adopted family of Gobbos from the evil sorcerer Baron Dante and his impish Dantini hordes.

What works
- Faithful remaster: The core gameplay captures the charm of the original, preserving the straightforward, explorer-friendly platforming that made the game a multi-million seller.
- Modern touches: Enhanced HD graphics, updated controls and an improved camera make the experience feel smooth and playable for contemporary audiences while optional retro video modes let you recreate the old-school look.
- Level variety: 45 levels across five distinct worlds - from volcanoes and ice glaciers to underwater caves - offer a good mix of platforming challenges, enemies and bosses.
- Personality and presentation: Bright, vibrant environments and playful character animation give the game plenty of character. The crocodile’s design and animations emphasize the light, family-friendly tone.
- Extras for fans: The Crocipedia is a standout bonus - a carefully assembled digital museum with concept art, animation tests, design documents, rare merchandise, pre-release soundtrack mixes and documentary interviews that will delight fans and game historians.

What could be better
- Classic platforming can feel forgivingly simple compared to modern 3D platformers; players looking for deep mechanics or high difficulty may find it light.
- Some modern camera and control improvements are helpful, but a few classic quirks remain that long-time players may miss or new players may need time to adapt to.

Croc Legend of the Gobbos is an affectionate remaster that balances nostalgia with sensible modern upgrades. It’s ideal for anyone who remembers the golden age of 90s platformers and for newcomers who want a colourful, approachable adventure with thoughtful archival extras.
