Menus and gameplay are in Japanese.

In Croc, you play Croc (ironically enough), a lively crocodile who was raised by the Gobbos. Jealous of their happiness, the evil Baron Dante took over the Gobbos Valley and enslaved all of them. Beany the Bird was able to help Croc escape and now he must free the Gobbos from their enslavement.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos has five stages that are broken into 40 levels. A total of nine bosses exist along with an entire host of evil creatures who must be overcome on your way to defeating Baron Dante. In the game you will be required to perform precision platform jumping during exploration through a 3D world. You can choose between three camera angles which but the camera rotates on its own as you move.

There once was a village of super-cute animals known as the gobbos. One day, a basket washed onto the shore of the village, and inside it was a baby crocodile.

The gobbos, feeling sorry for the abandoned baby, took it in and raised it as a gobbo, naming him Croc. However, the baby began to grow and eventually outgrew the village. Wherever Croc would go, he unintentionally caused destruction.

Just as Croc was contemplating whether or not to leave his adopted home, the evil Baron Dante and his followers, the Dantinis, kidnapped the gobbos. Take control of Croc as he travels through 45 levels of running and jumping action trying to rescue the gobbos.

Luckily, Croc knows some special moves, like the butt stomp and spin, which will help him dispose of the bad guys. Will Croc be able to save all of friends? Play CROC: Legend of the Gobbos and find out.

Features:
* Take out enemies with Croc's stomp maneuver and tail attack
* Work your way through underwater caves, volcanoes, ice glaciers, and forests to save your friends the Gobbos
* Explore six unique worlds as Croc to face and defeat the evil Baron Dante
