Croc And Argonaut Games Are Making A Comeback
Both Croc and Argonaut Games deserved a much better fate and, even though it's taken nearly two decades, it looks like things are finally starting to look up.

The press release confirms that the studio is making a comeback "as a boutique publisher" with a planned slate of "classic Argonaut IP" and original new games for current and retro consoles.
