Hundreds of voice-overs were recorded for the character Gex, but hardware constraints forced the Nintendo 64 version of the game to include only around one hundred samples. The Gex model was rebuilt with this perspective in mind, and much of the game's humor was inspired by Fox's animated television series The Simpsons, on which script writer Rob Cohen had previously worked as a writer. The game received mostly positive reviews.After creating the original Gex, which released for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, PC, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation in 1995, developer Crystal Dynamics sought a sequel in the form of a 3D platform video game in the style of Super Mario 64. This karate kick can help Gex cross certain gaps and defeat enemies. Gex's tongue allows him to eat flies which can give health back, give an extra life, or give him special abilities such as being lit on fire. Using his tail, Gex can bounce to reach higher places and defeat enemies. Gex's standard attack is using his tail to hit enemies. He then claims he fell into a scrap heap while trying to get free cable. After Gex asks how that's possible, Rez states that he didn't always look like his current form. He turns into a ball of energy in an attempt to flee but he ends up trapped in the TV. Rez is defeated when Gex drops a large tv on him. The agents give Gex a map of the Media Dimension and tell him that they want Rez to "disappear".Īfter going through several tv channels, Gex eventually confronts Rez once again. Gex tells them to thrown in a secret agent suit and they've got themselves a deal. In the briefcase is a large amount of money. One of the agents slides a briefcase over to Gex after asking for his help again. Gex tells the agents everything he knows about Rez. After Gex wakes up, he realized that he's in an interrogation room. Gex declines and one of the agents resorts to hitting him over the head with a crowbar. Two government agents then appear and request Gex's help.

However, his TV goes blank one day and Rez's face flashes rapidly on the screen. For two years Gex started his days watching Kung-Fu Theater until days and weeks blurred into one long telethon. In 1996, he retired from the public eye and resigned himself to a life of solitude. After defeating Rez, Gex became a celebrity.
