The Gex game for the Panasonic 3DO video game console appeared in 1994 and immediately won the hearts of many fans. But the most important thing here, perhaps, is that the character of the game, the lizard gecko Hex, has become the main mascot of the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer game console.
Gex is a side-scrolling platformer that follows the title character Gex, an anthropomorphic, television-obsessed gecko who must travel through the "media dimension" and defeat the game's antagonist, Rez.  An amazing platformer game, with a large number of different interesting chips, for example the ability to climb not only on the walls, but also upside down on the ceiling, thanks to the suction cups on the paws. Long tongue to get bonuses in hard to reach places. Anyway, it's just an excellent game with beautiful graphics.

Gex, lives by himself watching TV and eating snacks in his mansion in Maui, Hawaii, which he acquired after inheriting a large sum of money from his uncle that passed away. While looking for a good show to watch, he consumes a passing house fly. This insect turns out to be a small undercover drone being controlled by Rez, the overlord of the Media Dimension. Rez uses the droid to "bug" Gex, and pulls him into the Media Dimension through the TV set, intending to use him as the network's new mascot character. In order to escape, Gex needs to traverse the Media Dimension and find remote controls which he could use to destroy the TV sets blockading his exit back to the outside world. 

The game is full of humor, and a parody of a variety of films. Hex pronounces over 250 different phrases in the voice of the British comedian Dana Gould.
