Anvil on Head: A stage hazard for the Toon TV stages in Gex: Enter The Gecko and the New Toon Land stage in the original Gex.All There in the Manual: There's a LOT in the manual of the first game that isn't in the short intro before it.Abandoned Mascot: Gex was the mascot of Crystal Dynamics until 2003, when the studio began developing the Tomb Raider series.The first game is available for PC on GOG The final entry, Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, was again released on the PS1 and N64 (which did not have any of the FMVs).ĭespite being fairly successful and its developer continuing most of its other franchises from the era into the next (and expectations that it would make the leap), the franchise ended with the release of the last game in 1999 and has not resurfaced except a cameo in 2001's Mad Dash Racing. The N64 port is noted for cutting out several levels due to space constraints and lacking cutscenes the game previously had (though to be fair, it featured one level that the PS1 version lacked). The next installment switched to 3D platforming, with Gex: Enter the Gecko. The first entry, the simply titled Gex, was a 2D platformer for the 3DO, and later the Playstation 1, Sega Saturn and PC. Gex was a platformer franchise from Crystal Dynamics, featuring a gecko (voiced by comedian Dana Gould) who entered TV and movie themed worlds.
