Gex: Enter the Gecko (1998)
Genres:Adventure, Platform
Themes:Action, Comedy
Game modes:Single player
Story:"Is it just me, or am I engulfed in flames?" is one of the many one-liners uttered by Gex, a wise cracking gecko who should check himself into television rehab; he's addicted to it. After saving the Television Realm from the evil Rez in his first adventure, the gecko was ready to kick back, relax, and watch a little television. Little did he know his adventure was just beginning.
One day, two secret agent goons showed up at Gex's doorstep. They inform him that Rez is back and looking for vengeance; the evil monster is planning to destroy the Television Realm once more...and possibly the world. When Gex tells them that he's retired and doesn't care, one of the goons hits the gecko on the head and takes him to a secluded place.
When Gex comes to, the mystery men plead with the gecko to take the cash and help destroy Rez for good...or at least make him disappear. With that incentive (the cash), the wise cracking lizard slips into his special agent suit and plunges headfirst into the Television Realm. Watch out, Rez -- Gex is back!Show more

This is one of my favourite 3D platformer series, and I have so much enjoyment going through the game and it really deserves every praise it gets. I originally played it on the Sony Playstation which I got enamoured with the platforming and humour. However, as a fan of this series. While the Gex Trilogy is a thing. The original PC version of the Gex 3D: Enter the Gecko is actually not currently accessible on any storefronts. While the first games' PC port is always available and on sale most times, which I found pretty odd. So I hope GOG adds the second game to their library and allows us to legally purchase it.
It's an obscure PC port published by Ubisoft/Midway. It's nice to have the option to play Gex 3D: Enter the Gecko for Windows 98/XP as originally ported. Not the emulated versions which comes with the Gex Trilogy. It's nicer because first game is already available and has been for years. So having the second entry which was ported to PC would be nice option. Not to mention, it's really not available to purchase in any official/legal capacity.
I loved this game when I was in school. I played it to death with my friends and siblings, mastering the jumping and exploring every nook and cranny of each level to find the last of any secrets. It is a jump and run, but it has a lot of exploration. It has this sense of wonder some modern open world games can't fully give me, as there is something to discover around every corner. The game is full of references to old TV and movies, with a ton of humor, and of course a load of nostalgia attached for me. I recently tried to get it running on my modern machine, which barely worked. But it was the same feeling again. The game aged really well. And my daughter of 5 loves it too, and constantly wants me to play it again. Unfortunately, the music only barely works, and Gex' one-liners, one of the best parts of the game, are completely missing! I would really like to show her the game as I experienced it first.
It's tough to name just one moment of Gex: Enter The Gecko that changed my life. However I do recall the one I look back on the most favourably, Gex Night. You see I was already a big fan of Gex and so I suggest to my mates that we do a Gex Night together. And so we decided to spend an entire night on a phone call just sitting there playing Gex. One by one they fell to their tired states but I stood tall, inevitably being crowned the Gex Champion as I was the last man standing that night. I'll never forget it. Tail Time came into our lives and left the second we took it for granted. Bring Gex: Enter The Gecko to the GOG store. The fans need it.
Played it the first time on the N64 at a friend's house and I honestly thought the game saved on the cart. The quotes were so random, and we loved it. Got the chance to 100% play on the PS1 version years later and started looking for everything Gex after that.
I thought that all 3 Gex was on GOG but seeing there's only the first one is a shame. Until Gex Trilogy finally comes out, this one deserves to be here. Fingers crossed for PC Gex 3 (maybe?).
to me one of the best 3D plataformers ever made and one of my favorite games ever together with DKC2 and Crash 2, i gre up playing it but never got too far, then some years ago i re visited it, beat it with 100% and became obsessed, i beated it many other times since and did all the achievements on the ps1 and 64 versions, sadly the 64 version is really bad, but the ps1 is pretty much perfect, a shame 1 and 3 aren't as great, they could use a remake.
the collectables here and specially the sounds and the flow of the levels feels so satisfying, the movement allowing some really cool skips and platforming, the concept of the media dimension and the Gex universe itself, its all amazing, we NEED a gex 4, bring Dana Gould to write and play him, bring Marliece Andrada to reprise her role as Agent Xtra and keep the same collectables and gameplay/movement that are on Enter the Gecko and thats it, perfection, even more if they could somehow get the team from this game back together(also put him on kingdom hearts, i wanna see Nomura drawing Gex).
I played this game when I was a little kid but I never managed to finish it because I was afraid of the horror TV worlds and only managed to complete the first few. I always went as far as I could without doing any horror worlds. At the time I didn't understand english at all but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The funky sounds and visuals.... When I attempted a horror world I always went for a cartoon world right after.
My most memorable fight there was when you play as Gex Godzilla and fight againt a giant robot in a city, demolishing building with your tail. That is the furthest I got as a kid.
I really enjoyed the exploration aspect of the lobby. I found so many secret worlds by discovering walls I can stick to and walk on.
I still have the original CD of the game, but I can't play it even if I install it since it requires an old Voodoo graphics card and it is not available in any other storefronts so when I want to play it I am always forced to emulate an older console version of the game.
This game not only deserves to be on GOG but on the Good Old Games category as well.
