Croc Definitive Edition

Croc: Definitive Edition is a modernised source port of Croc! Legend of the Gobbos, based on the original PC source code, which surfaced via a leak. This project restores the game for modern systems while fixing long-standing issues from the 1997 release.

This was used as the base for the Croc Remaster.
