Play Gex 64: Enter the Gecko Online

Summary

Gex 64, the Nintendo 64 port of Gex: Enter the Gecko, swaps the original secret stages for a brand‑new underwater adventure called “Gecques Cousteau.” The level is set aboard the RMS Titanic, with most of the action taking place beneath the waves and only a brief land segment at the ship’s entrance before it sinks. Because cartridges hold far less data than CDs, the N64 version trims a lot of the original content: roughly 500 voice‑overs are gone, leaving about 100 samples, and the game loses its main menu, cutscenes, and several bonus and secret levels. Audio is slightly altered, and the soundtrack stays intact thanks to its MIDI format. Despite these cuts, the core platforming—Gex’s tail whip, bounce, and flying karate kick—remains, and the exclusive Titanic level adds a fresh, watery twist to the series.

Storyline

In Gex 64: Enter the Gecko, the wisecracking gecko has been living off‑grid after his triumph over the evil Rez in the Media Dimension. Two years later, while watching TV, the screen suddenly blanks and Rez’s face flashes, prompting two government agents to swoop in, interrogate him, and offer a hefty payout of cash and gadgets in exchange for his help. Gex reluctantly agrees, leaves the agency headquarters and is greeted by the enigmatic female operative Agent Xtra, who wishes him luck.

The hero then darts through a kaleidoscope of television channels inside the Media Dimension, eventually confronting Rez once more. Gex topples a massive television set onto Rez, crippling the villain, who then claims—through a TV screen—that he is Gex’s father. Gex simply switches the screen off, leaving the claim unverified. The story closes with Gex sharing a hotel room with Nikki, the heroine from the Pandemonium series.
