About Gex: Enter the Gecko

Gex: Enter the Gecko for the Game Boy Color is a portable adaptation of a three dimensional platformer. The core objective involves navigating through a series of levels to collect remote controls.

The premise centers on the protagonist Gex, who is pulled into his television set. His mission is twofold: to thwart the villain Rez's scheme of dominating global television networks and to find a way back home. The game's setting is explicitly televisual, with each stage parodying a distinct broadcast genre like science fiction, horror, or comedy.

These environments contain various references to recognizable films and television programs. The gameplay involves exploring these themed areas to progress through the adventure.
