Play Gex 64 - Enter The Gecko Online

Gex 64: Enter the Gecko came out on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, developed by Crystal Dynamics. It was part of that wave of 3D platformers that followed Mario 64, trying to capture some of that exploratory magic with a distinctly '90s attitude. The game stood out for its theme, letting you run through levels designed like different channels on a TV.

You control Gex, a wisecracking gecko, through a series of themed worlds. Your main goal is to collect remote control pieces to progress, while tail-whipping enemies and bouncing on objects to clear obstacles. The game uses screen-by-screen exploration in many stages, and you'll often be hunting for hidden collectibles like gold coins to unlock bonus areas. The pacing is generally straightforward, though some camera angles can make platforming tricky. It feels like a product of its time, packed with humor and variety that keeps it interesting even when the mechanics feel familiar.
