I like playing around with retro gaming obscura, finding things to appreciate about it, and often even writing down how I'd follow up on these weird games. Croc is funny though, because it's come to be notable for its unnotability as a scrimblo collectathon(?) 3D platformer. Sure, maybe you saw that one twitter thread a couple years ago about how it sold way too much (as much as Banjo) to be considered obscure, or you heard the story of the Yoshi pitch, but one way or another it's seen as a dead end, influencing zero games after it.
But I think that can be helped. I mean, even I was pretty ready to dismiss Croc at first, but then I actually really warmed up to the tank controls?
