Pixelgate.co.uk writes:

''When people talk about classic Playstation games, they always mention the same names. Final Fantasy 7, Resident Evil and Crash Bandicoot are just a few of the titles brought up. There’s one game that rarely gets a mention.''

Man, I haven't heard of this game in eons.

MWH3012d ago

both were good and fun games.

FriedGoat3012d ago

Nah, it was Bug! and Bug Too!

N0TaB0T3012d ago

I loved this game, playing it today gives me motion sickness though.

NukaCola3012d ago

It has really archaic controls similar to Resident Evil where forward is in the direction you're looking and pivoting motion. Other than that, the game was fun.

TWB3012d ago

Didnt they fix the controls (somewhat) in the second game then? I havent played the original all that much and even then its been a while since Croc 2.

NukaCola3012d ago (Edited 3012d ago )

I don't know. Never played the second one. I do want a next gen Gex though.

Croc is great, sadly it was never avaliable on PSN and i really don't know what company has the rights of the IP, probably we will never have another game for the series, sadly.

spektical3012d ago

Kingdomcome2473012d ago

Dark_matter3012d ago

Croc was one of my very first PS1 games. I for some reason very specifically remember being confused about what language he was talking, and my dad being like "I dunno, Greece or something?". Also I remember being extremely frustrated about the controls for some reason.

BlackIceJoe1377d ago

I haven't heard of this game in at least two decades and I think now is the best time to bring him back. With the Platformer revival we are seeing in games, I'm always welcome to see more return. Hopefully this will happen soon.

nowitzki20041377d ago

I totally forgot about it til this article.

BlackIceJoe1377d ago

That tells you just how old we are and if I'm not mistaken Fox brought the game out back in the day too.

Relientk771377d ago

Do it. Bring Croc back on PS5.

5 Forgotten Video Game Mascots

Oscar Navarro:
"Throughout the course of video game history, we have seen many characters rise the ranks to become iconic mascots. We sometimes forget, however, that with those that have risen come those that have been lost to time. Many have tried to reach the heights of Mario and Sonic, but could never win the hearts of gamers quite in the same way. Today, we thought it would be interesting to discuss five mascots that sadly have fallen out of the limelight. Before we go any further, keep in mind that forgotten doesn’t inherently mean disliked. Surely some of you out there will hold some of these characters close to your hearts. Forgotten simply means that these mascots never really received the praise that their more famous competitors have. With that said, here are five forgotten video game mascots."

Argonaut Games is no more. Croc died with its developer

JackTheLiz2469d ago

The original Argonauts is gone, but like a bad horror sequel it's been reanimated from the dead. Along with Bubsy.

darthv722469d ago

I remember this game on Saturn. Really fun.
