Croc 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, 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.

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, click here to see the changes.

Minigames

The only thing known about the minigames is that there was more than one to be available.
