Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko is a 3D platformer released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. In this spy-themed adventure, you guide the wisecracking reptile through various TV channel-themed worlds to rescue his partner, Agent Xtra, from the villainous Rez. The game leans heavily into secret agent parodies and requires you to don different costumes that grant unique abilities in each level.
How to Play
Your main objective is to explore the levels and collect TV remotes, which unlock new channels and progress the story. You can defeat enemies and interact with the environment using Gex’s natural gecko abilities, including tail whips and wall-climbing. In your browser, use the arrow keys to move, Z to jump (A button), X to tail whip (B button), and C to crouch or slide (Z trigger). Press Enter to pause the game.
Tips
- Look for surfaces with distinct textures like footprints; these indicate walls or ceilings Gex can stick to and climb to find hidden areas.
- Use the tail bounce by pressing the jump button and then the crouch button in mid-air to gain extra height and reach tricky platforms.
- Explore thoroughly for hidden Paw Coins to unlock bonus levels and secret content.
