Gex: Enter the Gecko (known in Europe as Gex 3D: Enter the Gecko) is a platform game released in 1998 for the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Microsoft Windows and the Game Boy Color.
It is the sequel to the 1994 game Gex, and involves collecting three types of remotes to unlock different TVs in the hub world that lead to levels, and to aid in the fight once again against Rez. The eponymous gecko protagonist is voiced by Dana Gould in the American version, and Leslie Phillips in the British release.
Enter the Gecko is the first 3D Gex game. His main moveset involves a tail whip attack, bouncing on his tail, using his tongue to eat flies, and performing a flying karate kick. He can also climb up on certain surfaces, and use machines.
The game takes place in a large hub filled with several TV screens based on various genres, parodying various genres from Looney Tunes to Star Wars. Each level has about three remotes to collect, as well as an additional one for collecting 120 collectibles within the level. Collecting enough remotes unlock new areas, bonus levels and boss levels and collecting all remotes unlocks a special ending showing concept art for the game.
Gex: Enter The Gecko was built upon the same engine that was originally used for the first Tomb Raider game, Crystal Dynamics originally wanted to relaunch the character with the technology they had to work with at the time, and impress the entire world. The developers of the game were huge fans of The Simpsons and built a lot of comedy set-ups based upon that style of humor. Dana Gould, one of the writers from The Simpsons, worked on the script for Gex: Enter the Gecko, and advised the Gex team on different directions for the character.
