Croc 2/Unused Content

From the Croc Wiki, the Croc encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search

Unlike Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Croc 2 isn't quite as heavy with unused content. Most of the unused content for Croc 2 is from a few pre-release pictures that have been found. But recently more discoveries have been made, including a test level.

A ship sailing by a small island, the shape around it could imply that originally Croc used a telescope instead of binoculars.

Unused Swimming level

A swimming level was going to be included in the Caveman Village, much like the original game. This was removed in the final.

Early Demo

An early demo shows a completely different title screen. This same demo contains the unused water level, possibly entirely playable. The model has since been extracted.[1]

Other

An early group shot shows some unused Dantinis, the unused Cowboy Gobbo, the unused monkey enemy and Baron Dante with both eyes.

An advert in a magazine also used some of these characters.
