[[File:Croc - Legend of the Gobbos PSX Beta v0.12 Gameplay|thumb|left|208 px]]
Also referred to as the '''v0.12 Beta''', this version was released as a gift in a magazine,
Line 11:
*The loading screen for levels actually depicts a silhouette of Croc staring into the sunset, playing soft rock music.
*Instead of Coloured Crystals, there are actually letters B O N U and S which have the same colours to unlock the Bonus (later Crystal) Door at the end.
*There are red
*The HUD shows the x symbol for the amount Croc has of an item, along with x/6 Gobbos.
*At the bottom of the screen are debug information and coordinates.
Line 34:
*The Box Shuffling Mini-Game is slightly different to the final game. Croc can move around the whole time during the shuffling of the boxes, he can attempt to smash one but nothing will happen, and Beany the Bird (or so it seems) is responsible for the shuffling of the boxes. As a result, Croc may stand on or hang from a box while the boxes are shuffled, which easily causes glitches. This is most likely the reason that Croc was made unable to move during the shuffling in the final game.
*The Popping Mini-Game instead has three yellow buttons which look like the buttons from the Crystal Catching Mini-Game.
