Gex is a 3D platform game where the player controls a gecko who has to navigate several levels, all of which are parodies on well-known TV shows and movies, such as Looney Tunes, Gilligan's Island, or Friday the 13th.

The government asks the TV addict gecko, Gex , to defeat Rez, the evil overlord of the television, once again. He gets a lot of money and an agent suit for that. The game generally resolves around a spy theme, but the story is not referenced later in the game.

Gex has to enter levels through TVs to collect three types of remote controls in order to unlock more of the Media Dimension, boss levels and secret TVs. Gex can tailwhip or karate-kick his enemies, climb certain walls and ceilings, eat bugs for power-ups, and spout one-liner wisecrack jokes. The gameplay is non-linear, the player can choose from multiple routes and goals on each level, and are replayable anytime after accomplished.

Gex was released in December 1995 for the Playstation.

Game Guide

Extracted from the original game manual

This is a 3D platformer where players control GEX, a gecko, through various themed worlds inspired by television and movies. The goal is to defeat enemies and overcome environmental hazards, ultimately confronting the main antagonist, Rez, to save the universe.

Story

CARTOON WORLD

Toon Town this ain't! GEX battles cheesy characters from those crack-of-dawn Saturday a.m. cartoons. Retired heroes and thieves out-of-work toon slouchers line up to take a swipe at GEX.

There's nothing like getting a safe dropped on your head. Itchy & Scratchy, eat each other's heart out!

JUNGLE WORLD

Go native! Feel the beat of the bongos. GEX stalks through a malaria factory packed with carnivores & cannibals (who likes the taste of gecko better than chicken), moving walls, hidden bobby traps, and breakaway bridges.

You may have named the dog Indy... but there's a gecko with the same hat.

KUNG FU WORLD

There's nothing like getting hung up in Channel 26. Fighting your way through moronic martial arts scenes is bad enough, but can't they get that voice track in sync?

It's Big Trouble in Little China with ninjas, samurai geckos, sumo wrestlers.... enough is enough. Walk softly, little grasshoppers, and whip a fast tail!

REZ'S NERVE CENTER

A world beyond insanity takes center stage. Vast installations of alien hi-tech circuitry fume with electrical force! Energy geysers leap from pulsating waves of liquid television. This is the twisted reality where network programs are chosen.

At last, GEX confronts Rez himself in a battle that will decide the fate of the universe... and more importantly, whether a gecko will be next season's network mascot!

HEADS UP

Lives

You start with 3 lives. Pick up 100 golden flies, and you'll gain an extra life.

Lose all your hit paws and you lose a life; lose all your lives and you lose the game.

Power-ups

GEX snags balls o' bug to power up with extra weapons, attributes and hit paws.

Hit Paws

You start the game with 3 hit paws. You can gain up to 6 paws by picking up the right power-up.

You lose one paw per hit. (If you have bug power-ups, you lose those first, and then you lose hit paws.) Lose all your paws and you lose a life.

Tips & Maps

Tail Whip

Whack foes, smack bug power-ups to fill an empty hi paw, whack items like shooting skulls to use them as weapons, or execute a jumping tail whip for an awesome display of gecko power.

Tongue Lash

Snag gold flies, bugs and power-ups in mid air.

Hurl

Spit a fire ball, ice ball, or other weapon, depending on the power-up GEX swallowed last.

Jump

Get air to avoid enemies or swallow high power-ups with a high tongue lash.

Tail bounce

Destroy enemies, bust breakable blocks and bounce to high platforms.

Wall Stick

Jump while pressing the Direction Button against a wall's surface and GEX sticks with his suction cup paws, allowing him to crawl, spin, and snag power-ups from this position.

Compliments of Rez... flying TV

If you accidentally whack these aerial bombs with a tail whip, they start a countdown, so don't be in the way when they explode.

Find the tricks in each world

Overcome tough spots, such as slapping the floating skulls to knock out the floating tv's.

Switch on movie cameras

Use a tail whip to activate a special mechanism, then look around to see what's changed, like a bridge falling into place or a door opening.

Ride the rafts

Cross shooting geysers, jumping, ducking, and tail whipping from your safe flotation device, but hang on!

Conveyor belts

Travel horizontally and vertically, either grounded or floating in the air; stick on them and you'll be whisked away to other places.

Find a remote controller

In each world, whack it with a tail to gain ownership and use it to escape to the next world.

The Media Dimension

Has other surprises in store, such as deadly pools of liquid Rez and secret levels.

Each world's boss

Is rough and tough to beat, but each one can be destroyed if you figure out his secret.

Pick up a VCR tape

To get a password.
