Play Gex - Enter the Gecko (USA, Europe) Online
You play as a sarcastic gecko flipping through bizarre TV worlds, wall-jumping between horror movie spoofs and sci-fi sets while collecting remotes like they’re going out of style. The controls feel a bit stiff at first, but the sheer weirdness of each level makes up for it.
Gex: Enter the Gecko came out for the Game Boy Color in 1998, developed by Crystal Dynamics. It was part of that wave of late-90s platformers where developers tried to squeeze console-style adventures onto the handheld, often with mixed results. The game stood out for its TV-themed levels and wisecracking main character, fitting right in with the platform's growing library of colorful, action-oriented titles.
You control Gex, a wisecracking gecko, as he runs, jumps, and tail-whips his way through themed worlds based on television genres. The main goal is to explore each screen-based stage, defeat enemies, and collect remote controls to progress. Signature mechanics include clinging to and climbing certain walls, as well as using your tail to attack foes or break objects. The pacing is brisk, though some jumps demand precision, and the hit detection can be unforgiving. It feels like a condensed, slightly clunky but genuinely odd adventure that keeps you pushing forward just to see what strange setting comes next.
