=== [[Croc 2 SegaJune Dreamcast13 Version1999 Prototype]] ===
([https://hiddenpalace.org/Croc_2_(Jun_13,_1999_prototype) Link])
The Dreamcast version of Croc 2 was intended for release after the Playstation and PC versions, and was to add minigames, a new village with presumably two more normal levels (as per "forty-two levels to play in total"). It is unknown if a prototype exists, but Jez San mentioned the port was "canned" implying development didn't get very far, if at all. It was officially cancelled in Autumn 2000. All according to the Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine.
 
Released by Hidden Palace as part of Project Deluge. A very late prototype released 17 days before final.
=== PC Version ===
The Windows 98 version of Croc 2 was meant to be a bridge between the Playstation and the Dreamcast version, containing many changes which may have been present in the Dreamcast version. As such, the prototype pictures of the Dreamcast version may have been pictures from the PC version. Besides having controller mapping, graphical settings and audio settings, [[Croc 2 Version Differences|click here to see the changes.]]

The title shows as '''''Croc II''''', and is the only known version of the game to do so. The playable level featured is a very early version of [[Croc Vs. Dantini Boat Race]], where Croc instead rides on a raft through the level. Early monkey and ape enemies are present throughout.

=== PCCroc 2 Sega Dreamcast Version ===
The Dreamcast version of Croc 2 was intended for release after the Playstation and PC versions, and was to add minigames, and a new village with presumably two more normal levels (as per "forty-two levels to play in total"). It is unknown if a prototype exists, but Jez San mentioned the port was "canned" implying development didn't get very far, if at all. It was officially cancelled in Autumn 2000. All, according to the Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine.
 
However, in posts made on Twitter by those working on the games, it was mostly just in talks. It confirms that the [[Cowboy Gobbo]]s and by extension the [[Cowboy Village]] would have been present in this version, alongside a loop the loop minecart stage. Although a full prototype is unlikely to have existed, the posts suggests that level prototypes may have existed at some point. <ref>https://twitter.com/mattgodbolt/status/1389938236861075467</ref>
 
===Croc 2 Sega Saturn Version===
The back of the Sega Saturn manual touted a release for ''Croc II'' in Christmas 1998.<ref>https://archive.org/details/Croc_Legend_Of_The_Gobbos_1997_U</ref> However, a Sega Saturn release never saw the light of day. It's unknown if any development was ever made.
