Gex: Enter the Gecko is a 2D platform game for the Game Boy Color that adapts the original 3D title. Players control Gex, who is drawn into a television world to navigate genre-themed levels inspired by horror, sci-fi, and comedy. The objective is to collect remote controls to thwart the villain Rez's plans for television domination while seeking a way back home.
A conversion of the 3D platform title, this game features all the same levels shrunk down onto the Game Boy Color screen.
Gex is sucked into his TV, and must explore all of the TV style levels, find the remote controls and save the world of television from Rez, who is planning to take over the world's TV networks, as well as return home. Each level is based on a popular TV genre, such as horror, sci-fi and comedy, and has mentions of well known programs and movies along the way.
