The lights are on
Back in the dark days of the original PlayStation, a secret cabal of the game industry's most talented creators spent a weekend secluded together in a dark catacomb, attempting to concoct an idea for the greatest video game ever (to feature comedian Dana Gould). The result? Gex: Enter the Gecko.
On this week's episode of Replay, Tim Turi, Ben Reeves, Andrew Reiner, and I look back on one of the most popular platformers that has totally faded away in the generations following its release. Does Gex still hold up? (Not exactly.) Will Ben die a bunch? (You know it.) Will any of us survive one of the most atrocious choices for a Replay Roulette yet? (Barely!) Tune in and see for yourself.

Yay! Another Replay! I never played this game so I am really looking forward to watching this. Keep up the good work. You guys are awesome.
My son and I played the he'll out of that game back in "the day". Have to run up to my Mac to watch tis replay when are you going to add iPad comparability. C'mon it can't be that hard.
baby jaguar! lol. XD
I remember playing Gex...I actually liked it and thought he was funny when I was younger...still throwing out the request for Mystical Ninja for SNES as a replay!!!! or Donkey Kong 64, or Donkey Kong Country for Super Replay!!!
I think that Gex is a very underrated game, I'm glad you guys did a Replay for it.
do a Jak and daxter next anyone of them!
LOL the end! "grrrth".
Oh I remember this game ah the memories the frustration.
Oh man, I remember this game! The Star Wars-esque level was my favorite! Great replay!
I only played sidescroller gex myself. tons of fun!
Good times i remember Gex i beged my parents for thiat game cause i loved Geckos got lucky cause it turned out really good o and there was another level there in the beginning that arch u guysclimbed on if u go to the top and crawl around it u get on a path to the titanic level which was a sick level....well as sick as a game from 98 could be great replay guys thanks
Oh god, Gex. I remember playing this game, it was FULL of pop culture stuff and just plain goofy stuff.
Gex Puns in General. Nice tag.
Great replay as always...
Man, that was great! I was yelling at you guys the whole time... In the Circuit Central level, you needed to pick up the green energy ball to activate the glowing green platforms! I f---ing love that game!
That sabrina game was horrible.
i love gex! i have the sequel gex deep cover gecko on my psp right now.
and yes i would buy a hd remake of this game.
but only if dana gould was doing the voice. lol
i think the cats name is simon.
I loved the baby jaguar noises at the end. Spawn for the PS1 might be an interesting Replay in the future. That game was another example of the problems with early 3D gaming: empty/bland environments and crappy camera controls just to name a couple. It was bad.
