Galleon is a video game developed by Toby Gard and Confounding Factor. Famously announced in Edge magazine in 1997, the game went through various incarnations and publishers before eventually being published by SCi in 2004 to fairly muted critical response. As of June 2006 the game's average press score is 6.6/10.
As one of the original designers of Lara Croft, Toby Gard left Eidos shortly after the first Tomb Raider game was released. Galleon was to be his first independent title following the original Tomb Raider. Unfortunately, Galleon was delayed and eventually ported from the original Sony Playstation to the Sega Dreamcast and later to the Microsoft Xbox. While still innovative in both design and control, Galleon's graphics appear fairly dated on the Xbox hardware. Toby has since returned to Eidos as a design consultant for the Tomb Raider franchise.
