Play Gex : Enter the Gecko Online
Run, jump, and tail-whip your way through TV-themed worlds as Gex, collecting remotes and defeating enemies in this 1998 platformer for Game Boy Color.
Gex: Enter the Gecko came out on Game Boy Color in 1998, developed by Crystal Dynamics. It was part of that wave of console-to-handheld ports that tried to squeeze a 3D experience into a tiny screen, and it stood out with its TV-themed levels and wisecracking main character. The game felt very much of its time, with bright colors and simple platforming that fit right in with other late-90s portable titles.
You control Gex, a gecko who runs, jumps, and tail-whips his way through themed worlds based on television genres. The goal is to explore each stage, find hidden remotes, and defeat enemies to progress. Signature mechanics include screen-by-screen navigation, collecting remote controls to unlock new areas, and using Gex's tail attack to take out foes. The pacing is brisk, though some jumps feel imprecise, and the difficulty can spike in later levels. It feels like a condensed, sometimes clumsy version of its console sibling, but there's a quirky charm in bouncing between channel-themed worlds.
