If you are looking for a heavy hit of nostalgia, the GEX Trilogy is exactly what you need. Released recently, this collection brings back the iconic tail-whipping, wise-cracking gecko from the 90s directly to modern platforms, including a fantastic optimization for PC games. The bundle packs the original 2D hit along with the beloved 3D adventures, Enter the Gecko and Deep Cover Gecko.

It is honestly so exciting to see such a legendary mascot return, proving that retro platforming still holds up incredibly well today.
Storyline
The storyline begins when our couch-potato hero gets sucked straight into the Media Dimension by the evil Emperor Rez. After that, you are basically jumping through different television worlds, completely designed as sarcastic parodies of classic movies and popular shows. You will fight to collect remote controls, swap into hilarious costumes like a secret agent suit or a karate outfit, and take down Rez's quirky henchmen. This game's storyline doesn't take itself seriously at all, overflowing with rapid-fire pop-culture jokes and crazy character moments that perfectly capture the weird, wild energy of 90s television culture.
Gaming experience.
Jumping into these levels is a total blast from the past, but with a setup that actually supports modern hardware. Whether you are wall-crawling through a haunted house or throwing kung-fu kicks in a sci-fi arena, the action is incredibly smooth. On PC games, the frame rates are completely flawless, and the added save-state system means you never have to repeat annoying sections over and over. You get to explore massive, maze-like stages, hunt down secrets, and listen to Gex drop endless cheesy one-liners. It is just pure, unadulterated fun that perfectly balances an old-school challenge with very welcome modern comforts.
