This is a gameplay sample for the 3DO version of Gex, a cool platformer from back in the day. Some consider it one of the first true "32-Bit" platformers, but I haven't checked that bit of info out and I'm kinda skeptical, so don't quote me on it. Regardless of whatever, Gex has decent visuals, a great soundtrack and lots of slapstick humor from one smart-mouthed Gecko. Gex's mission is to defeat Rez, who has trapped Gex within the T.V. world. The only way to do so is to find where he's hiding and find various remotes to go to different channels in search for him.

Gex is equipped with a basic arsenal of abilities like swinging his tail, jumping in various ways, running, etc. He also has the cool ability to grab things with his tongue and scale walls. A fun game... I wouldn't have bought a 3DO when it first came out for something like this, but it's a fun game. Enjoy.
