Gex – Enter The Gecko ROM Description

Ah, the golden era of gaming, where 3D worlds were first coming to life, and snarky, pop culture-infused protagonists were beginning to rule the roost. One game that encapsulates this bygone era is none other than Gex: Enter the Gecko, a brainchild of Crystal Dynamics. The game originally premiered in 1998 and captivated audiences with its funky graphics, unique premise, and a wisecracking, TV-addicted gecko, Gex, who is voiced by a range of talented actors, from Dana Gould in North America to Leslie Phillips in Europe. It’s a masterclass in how platform games should be made, with hints of Super Mario 64 for good measure.

This genre-bending platformer had you scrambling through an overworld of television sets, each leading to different levels designed as parodies of pop culture phenomena like Star Wars and Looney Tunes. You’d collect remotes—some red, some silver—and even golden ones by beating bosses to unlock new realms of ridiculousness. Gex’s toolkit included a tail whip attack, wall climbing, and even a flying karate kick. Levels could range from cartoonish landscapes to intense outer space stages requiring Gex to collect oxygen for his astronaut suit.

The GameBoy Color release managed to capture the essence of the original, despite the hardware constraints that led to a fewer number of levels and a more simplified dialogue. If you’re itching to relive the good old days, this particular version is now available for download at ROMsdl.NET. You won’t just get Gex; there are myriad other games to try out. For instance, you can hop into “Gecques Cousteau,” an exclusive Nintendo 64 level centered around the RMS Titanic that’s now included in the GameBoy Color release.

The game was a hit among critics, albeit with some concerns over camera angles and graphical elements. And if you’re feeling a bit modern, Limited Run Games recently announced the Gex Trilogy to be available on multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. But there’s something ineffable about going retro and grappling with the same challenges, controls, and 8-bit graphics that made Gex: Enter the Gecko an instant classic. So, what are you waiting for? Dive back into the Media Dimension and kick some Rez butt. Download your Gex experience at ROMsdl.NET now and get ready to enter the Gecko once more!
