1990s Critics Review Gex Trilogy & Tomba (Limited Run/Carbon Engine)
189This was a big week for Tomba fans, because Limited Run Games just announced that they would be bringing the 32-bit cult classic to modern consoles later this year. But wait, that’s not all, because they also announced the Gex Trilogy – a classic compilation that will feature Gex, Enter the Gecko and Deep Cover Gecko. That’s exciting news, but are any of these games actually worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Computer & Video Games, Next Generation and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. So, get your one-liners ready, because this is a Gecko-filled episode of Limited Run Review Crew.
