"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. The average score on GameRankings is 68% based on 43 reviews.

As one of the original designers of Lara Croft, Toby Gard left Core design 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.

The game engine used for this game evolved into what was used for Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Anniversary Tomb Raider Underworld and Deus Ex 3. [Citation Needed]
