So they whisk me away to Interrogation 101. Sunshine himself: Rez! He's back in the Media Dimension and they think I'm crazy enough to go back in after him. The next thing I know, some government goons show up at my place/house! It seems they've caught a whiff of old Mr. Days, then weeks blurred into one long greasy telethon/sorry afternoon chat show. For two years, I started my day watching Kung-Fu Theater (US)/Supermarket Sweep (UK). In other news, the latest Gran Turismo 7 update adjusts rewards and payouts, and Dying Light 2 is getting a new game plus mode later this month.Since retiring from the public's eye, I have resigned myself to a life of solitude. The ISO is freely available on and works on actual (debug or modified) hardware. Since it was aimed toward kids, his quips are more family-friendly and reference kids’ shows from the time like Teletubbies and Blues Clues.ĭespite there not being a ton of content, It’s a very cool look at a lost piece of gaming history.

Later games changed format from 2D to 3D platformer, but the pop culture parody motif remained consistent throughout the series. People liked his “too cool” attitude and his constant pop culture references. In a time when the majority of games being released were platformers, Gex stood out for its style, level design, and of course, the gecko himself. The original game was first released on the ill-fated 3DO console and was later ported to PC, PS1, and Saturn. The wise-cracking gecko with an attitude was designed to contrast with the more family-friendly Mario and Sonic. Gex was originally created during a time when developers and hardware makers were fixated on mascot characters. The Gex trilogy sold 15 million copies, and all three received decent reviews. Gex might be little more than a meme these days, but it was once a prosperous franchise.
