Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko is a 3D platformer released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. Developed by Crystal Dynamics, this adventurous and comedic title has players controlling Gex, a wisecracking gecko on a mission to rescue his partner Agent Xtra from the villainous Rez. Navigating television-themed levels from anime to mystery broadcasts, you must collect remotes to progress while utilizing Gex’s tail-whip, tongue-grab, and wall-crawling abilities.
How to Play
Your objective is to explore various TV-themed worlds and collect enough TV remotes to unlock new channels and ultimately defeat Rez. Gex can tail-bounce to reach higher areas, eat bugs for health and power-ups, and stick to specific walls and ceilings.
Controls (Browser): Use the arrow keys for movement. X and Z map to the A and B buttons for jumping and tail-whipping. Press Enter for Start. The C-buttons (often used for camera control) are typically mapped to WASD, and the Z-trigger to Q or Space.
Tips
- Explore thoroughly: Many remotes are hidden in secret areas or require completing specific side-objectives within a level. Take your time to investigate suspicious walls and platforms.
- Utilize the fly-eating mechanic: Eating different colored flies gives Gex distinct power-ups, such as fire breath or ice projectiles, which are essential for defeating certain enemies and solving puzzles.
- Master the tail-bounce: Holding the jump button while attacking downwards performs a tail-bounce, allowing you to reach higher ledges and defeat tougher enemies.
