Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a 3D platformer where players control GEX, a gecko secret agent, on a mission to save television from his old nemesis, Rez. The game features various camera control options, allowing players to choose between automatic, semi-automatic, and full manual camera movement to navigate levels and perform precise jumps.
Story
Mission Briefing
GEX had retired from public life in 1996, seeking solitude in Maui with his big-screen TV. He enjoyed a quiet life, watching TV and avoiding the paparazzi and public scrutiny that once plagued him.
His days blurred into a long television marathon, filled with Kung Fu Theater, cartoons, and His Majesty's Secret Service. This routine brought him to the verge of insanity.
Mission Briefing Cont'd
Two government agents appeared, flashing badges and requesting GEX's assistance with an old acquaintance: Rez. GEX initially refused, having saved the universe once already.
The agents then knocked GEX unconscious with a blunt object. He awoke in an interrogation room, where they pressed him for information about Rez.
Mission Briefing Cont'd
After GEX shared what he knew, the agents offered him a briefcase full of cash. GEX, motivated by the money, agreed to help.
He was given a secret agent suit and his mission: save television and make Rez "disappear." He was instructed to hide Rez's body between Jimmy Hoffa's and Spuds Mackenzie's.
As GEX left for his waiting limo, he met Special Agent EXTRA, who wished him luck in rescuing television. GEX, smiling, prepared for his mission.
Camera Control
GEX: ENTER THE GECKO has three camera settings, indicated by an icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
•
Change cameras by pressing Start to pause, then LEFT/RIGHT on the Directional buttons.
•
During play, tap to zoom in or out through three settings.
•
Press and hold, then use the Directional buttons to look in all directions.
Semi-Auto Cam (default)
This camera automatically moves behind GEX when he stops. It is generally best for beginners.
•
Override by pressing L1 or R1 to rotate the camera left or right.
Auto Cam
This camera follows GEX, always pointing in the direction he is looking. It is most effective in open spaces.
•
You cannot manually override Auto Cam (L1 and R1 are not activated).
Manual Cam
This setting provides complete camera control.
•
Press L1 or R1 to swing the camera's view in a full 360° rotation, positioning it as desired.
•
Manual Cam is favored by experienced players for technical jumps and minimal computer assistance.
Note
Sometimes the game defaults to a fixed camera for a short period to assist through difficult areas.

TV REJECTS
PRE-HISTORY CHANNEL
Go back to your distant roots when reptiles ruled the world and . . . yada, yada, yada. Hey, that guy could almost buy beer with my ID.
SCREAM TV
Who's ready to turn a headless 12-year-old knife-wielding brat into bratwurst? Hey, the little zombie has a discipline problem, OK? Meet a guy who lost his soul and other body parts. Check out some artwork that's worth dismembering. You gonna choose what's behind Door #1, Door #2 or Door #200?
CIRCUIT CENTRAL
Pay homage to all those strange Sci-Fi shows that snatched control of your TV set. Grab a charge and hit the launchers.
ROCKET CHANNEL
There are billions and billions of ways to get the intergalactic shaft here. GEXIE needs air!
TOON TV
It's open season on rabbits but you're a lizard, right? Beware of flowers bearing mallets. Drop into a hutch for a makeover. Those ears are just you!
KUNG-FU THEATER
Grab some take-out and then turn some guy into Kung Fu Chicken. Pulling out chest hair is no fair.
REZOPOLIS
Look out for Copafeelbots. After you see what Rez has to offer, you'll run to Rupert begging for shelter.
THIS GECKO MOVES
•
JUMP (DEFAULT X): Use to reach high platforms.
•
TAILBOUNCE (DEFAULT X): Tap the button twice and hold for AIR GEX.
•
TAILWHIP (DEFAULT ■): Use to dismember enemies and destroy objects. Some monsters love punishment; they will hold out for several whacks before disintegrating.
•
EAT BUG (DEFAULT ●): Use tongue to grab flies into your mouth and down the hatch.
•
WALL CLIMBING: Jump while pressing the Directional buttons toward a wall or ceiling. GEX will stick with true gecko grit.
•
Note: GEX's suction-cup paws can only stick to certain surfaces.
•
KARATE KICK: Run, hold down L2 or R2, and when ready, press Jump to leap huge spans and kick some hairy monster butt.
CHECKPOINTS
Although GEX loves reruns, replaying the same area over and over can be frustrating. To make your TV trippin' a little easier, in some of the larger levels GEX will come across Checkpoint TVs containing checkered flags.
Run past one of these TVs and hit it with a Tailwhip to "mark your spot" in the level. Then if GEX loses a life, you will restart the level from that spot instead of from the beginning.
SCREEN ICONS
•
LIVES: When GEX gains or loses a Life, his number of Lives Remaining appears. GEX starts out with five Lives. Run out of Lives and your show is cancelled.
•
**HIT
Items & Weapons
GREEN HEALTH FLY
Add a Hit Paw. By eating Green Flies, GEX can gain up to a maximum of four Hit Paws at one time.
BLUE ICE FLY
"Ice Cube Maker." Freeze monsters by holding down Tailwhip and running around them. Release Tailwhip to cause the big chill. GEX is invincible for a limited period while chillin'. Contact with fire melts the power prematurely.

COLLECTIBLES
Each GEX world has its own set of riveting TV Collectibles. These are divided into three "tiers" per world. You must collect a certain number of items in each tier before you can advance to the next tier (and eventually collect the Silver Remote).
