One the most creative platform games!
One of the most overrated platform games, even the avgn underestimated him! Actually, it is one of the most original games, it is a pity that it did not attract attention. The plot, could say that it has an interesting sense, an analogical on the vice that causes the tv. The style: could be an earthworm jim, or an vector man at the same time. Without a doubt, one of my favorites. A thousand thanks gog!

First Gex
Gex the gecko, a TV addict burning through his inheritance, gets sucked into the Media Dimension by its evil overlord Rez, who wants him to be the mascot of his new network, whatever that enTAILs. And so, Gex has to fight his way through 5 different worlds to defeat that Rez and return home. The gameplay is… well, okay. The controls could be a bit more responsive, and certain platform hitboxes – a bit more generous (sometimes it feels like they’re narrower than the sprite). The keys can be remapped, if necessary (in the window menu). I found playing in windowed mode more comfortable, than in fullscreen. The only real downside is that even through it’s a pc game it lacks a save system. You have to rely on passwords, which don’t keep track of your score, flies, or lives – they only save your level progress. It’s not unusable, but it is frustrating and it makes the game harder as you will probably need all those extra lives to fight bosses and for late game platforming sections. Through if you really need them you can always replay any easy level and/or abuse the checkpoint system to grind as many lives as you want. Gex is a decent platformer. But I like the later 3D installments much better.

A classic
There was about a decade between when I played the demo when this was brand new and actually being able to play the full thing and in that time I never lost hope that one day I'd be able to try the full thing and it did not disappoint. At first glance this might look like it's just trying to do exactly what Mario and Sonic were doing but there are a couple of things that are unique to this and if you're at all a fan of those I recommend trying this as well. Honestly, if you're only gonna play one of these and you haven't made your decision yet, I recommend this one over those. Since you're playing as a gecko you have the ability to stick to walls. Sometimes this means the actual background of the level, other times it means that you can ascend a wall and even climb upside down and there are areas that require you to master this. You have various power ups and weapons and something I greatly appreciate is that whenever you find one you can choose to use it normally or you can use it to get back a little bit of health depending on which of these you most need to proceed. The different kinds of attacks are fun and memorable and one of the best things about this is that it really does take its core concept and run with it. This truly is someone who is trapped inside a TV constantly dealing with pop culture. Smurfs attack you with gifts and (invisible, presumably for copyright reasons) Bugs Bunny eats carrots suspended in midair shortly after you touch them, necessitating you moving on very quickly. The horror segment features zombies and off brand versions of slasher icons. No area overstays its welcome and they made some really fun choices. If you watched American TV around the time this came out you will recognise so many things you saw on there and it's genuinely really engaging to get to interact with them. Controls are very easy to master and movement is fluid making the near constant platforming substantially less frustrating.
