| Gex | Crystal Dynamics | 1995 | Rez is out to destroy the Television Realm, and only Gex the Gecko can save it. Unfortunately, Gex has retired, but a huge pile of cash from the government quickly changed his mind. You take control of Gex as he travels through 24 levels with themes that are parodies of television and movies. In each level Gex must collect remote controls to open new areas and eventually fight the level boss. Throughout all of the levels, Gex (voiced by HBO comedian Dana Gould) rattles off a variety of wise cracks to lighten the mood of the game. Many of the comments are keyed to the theme of the area Gex is exploring. Will Gex be able to defeat Rez? Will he be able to get over his television addiction? Find the answers to these questions by playing GEX: Enter the Gecko.*** [32]*** [27] | labelimagesubject |

Nintendo rejected the developer's proposal and the game was eventually retooled to what we see now. However, the proposal spurred the idea of a 3D platformer starring Mario and Luigi for the N64. That game would eventually be published albeit without Luigi.*** [32]*** [29]*** [27] | labelimagesubject |
