Gex: Enter the Gecko
Game Boy Color · 1998
About this game
Gex 3D: Enter the Gecko is a 3D platform game where the player controls a gecko who has to navigate several levels, all of which are parodies on well-known TV shows and movies, such as Looney Tunes, Gilligan's Island, or Friday the 13th.
Rez, the evil overlord of the television is back into the Media Dimension, and the government asks the TV addict gecko, Gex, to defeat him once again.

He gets a lot of money and an agent suit for that.
The game generally revolves around a James Bondish spy theme, but the story is not referenced later in the game.
Gex has to enter levels through TVs to collect three types of remote controls in order to unlock more of the Media Dimension, boss levels and secret TVs.
Gex can tailwhip or karate-kick his enemies, climb certain walls and ceilings, eat bugs for power-ups, and spout one-liner wisecrack jokes.
The gameplay is non-linear, the player can choose from multiple routes and goals on each level, and are replayable anytime after being accomplished.
Due to the medium it was released on some changes were made to the N64 version.
Music tracks are missing or simplified.
The number of voice qups were reduced from approximately 500 lines to 100 lines.
The more mature orientated content were either changed or removed.
The amount of levels included were reduced.
The 15 Main "TV" Levels were reduced tp 13 and the Secret/Bonus Levels were reduced from 10 to 5.
The N64 version is missing the Scream TV level Poltergex and the Secret/Bonus Levels: Texas Chainsaw Manicure, Lava Dabba Doo, and Mazed and Confused.
The N64 version also removed the Mao Tse Tongue hub-world level, though its primary stage is still accessible.
Bonus Rounds such as I Got the Reruns and Trouble in Uranus are also absent from the N64 version.
The N64 version has an exclusive level Sea Span aka Gecques Cousteau.
The impact of these level changes made the amount of red remotes to collect reduced from 34 to 25.
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks Gex: Enter the Gecko for Game Boy Color with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Gex: Enter the Gecko to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBC release dates back to 1998.
