Gex Trilogy

Released: 6/16/2025

Exploding into the modern era like a pro wrestler from the top rope—it’s GEX! The fast-talking gecko who doesn’t want to sell you insurance! That’s right, the greatest gaming hero of the 1990s has returned for the 2020s through the raw, unbridled power of the Carbon Engine. GEX Trilogy reproduces all three original games in exacting detail, precisely the way you remember them. Assuming you’ve gone senile and remember them having high-definition native 16:9 widescreen visuals and fully analog controls. Which they didn’t. No, this is the Gex series the way it was meant to be played. The Man didn’t think you were ready back then. He kept this version locked away. But the moment has finally arrived. Down with The Man! Up with Gex! GEX Trilogy is Gex, the next-gen version. The Gex’t-gen version. The Gexiest version of all. And just like the tightest red carpet attire on Oscar night, the GEX Trilogy is totally stuffed … with tons of bonus features, including a music player featuring every track from each game (even the tunes that are kind of annoying), a massive museum filled with key art, a collection of classic TV commercials for the media-addled idiots in the audience, and an all-new interview with the voice of Gex. That’s Gould, Jerry, Gould! (Dana Gould, to be precise.) The classic 2D platformer, originally released for the 3DO console, returns with new features! Display options! Optional CRT filters, borders, and screen sizes. Rewind and save anywhere. Gex's first 3D adventure is back for prime-time with a host of notable upgrades: Brand new analog controls! Completely rebuilt 360-degree analog controls bring a higher fidelity of control and responsiveness to this classic game. (The original 8-way digital controls are here as an option). Enhanced resolution over the original version! Native 16:9 widescreen! Rewind and save anywhere! Gex's final 3D adventure is better than ever before: Brand new analog controls! Completely rebuilt 360-degree analog controls bring a higher fidelity of control and responsiveness to this classic game. (The original 8-way digital controls are here as an option). Enhanced resolution and performance over the original version! Native 16:9 widescreen! Rewind and save anywhere!
