We recently reported on the very welcome news that Argonaut Games, the company behind hits such as Starglider, King Arthur's World, Alien Resurrection and Star Fox, was being revived, and a remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is on the cards.
Keen to capitalise on the renewed interest in the character, Argonaut has decreed that this month shall henceforth be known as "Croctober", and it wants fans to send in their "art, tattoos, collections, and stories" so they can be shared with the wider Croc fandom.
The post has resulted in a stream of photos, art and other cool things, but the best thing we've seen so far isn't a piece of fan-made material, but a photo of "the actual cake made to celebrate the game’s launch, enjoyed that day by the production team."
Be sure to add your voice to the Croctober vibes by tagging posts with #Croc27 and #Croctober.

Happy Croctober all. Hoping the remaster isn't too far away
My one and only Croc memory is getting frustrated at the controls in the PSX game and then taking it out to play Twisted Metal 2 for the hundredth time.
I remember being very lost in Croc 2 since I didn't understand the concept of hub worlds, but I still played it all the time.
@WhensDinner I was basically going to say this. I'm pretty forgiving with 3D platformers, but croc is just atrocious to play. If you want to play a frustrating to control PS1 platformer play Kingsley's Adventure.
I remember playing it at a cousins house, it controlling horribly, and the bosses having poor hit detection/feedback.
The game was outmatched by Mario 64, Crash Bandicoot and then very shortly after stuff like Banjo Kazooie , Spyro, Rayman 2, DK64 and Ape Escape buried it.
I played the demo on PC which was quite large. I loved every minute of it.
