Croc (Gameboy Color Review) Worth Playing?

[@Helloyousilverdevil]

Feel the same as you about Croc and Croc 2. First played it on a demo disc when my dad got us a PS1 in 1995, and was blown away by the graphics… but even back then it felt kinda ‘cold’ and kinda semi-empty as a game in some weird way. But they’re pure nostalgia for me now, top 10 PS1 games just from the memories playing them as a kid. I’ve always been way more interested in graphics than gameplay though, so aside from Pokemon blue/red/yellow, these basic sidescrollers just never interested me till stuff like the GBA started releasing pseudo-3D and more impressive looking stuff.

I always loved portable versions of games like this and hate the idea that they're some kind of port when they're often essentially demakes or completely different games! Banjo, Conker, a lot of third party licensed games got handheld versions that only shared the name! Great vid!

@zombizzle_ i totally agree with that. The gameboy color has a lot of "ports" but are standalone games. Thank you for watching 😀

I’ve never played this version of Croc at all. I don’t think I ever will but good to get some insight on it overall.

It’s a shame how the remastered version got delayed to 2025! It was originally meant to come out this month in December but I can’t say I’m surprised as Argonaut Games went silent for a fair while too. Definitely looking forward to it overall! I even replayed the PS1 version recently for comparison too.

@BrennySpain that does goes suck it's taking a while. Maybe they will make sure it is polished enough once it's comes out next year.

[@BrennySpain]

@ yeah it’s only been delayed to Q1 of 2024 so hopefully we don’t have to wait too much longer.

Quite personally I’ve never been the biggest fan of the game boy colour at all. I honestly much prefer the game boy advance. That was an awesome handheld I think!
