    No. It’s not a remaster or remake or even a port. LRG are predators and market manipulators. They’re preying on your nostalgia with the hopes that you’ll pay top dollar for the most “premium” version of their release by creating a false sense of scarcity. All of this just so people can own a “new” physical copy of a disc or cartridge running a few games on an emulator.

    It’s like Christmas at Jackie Chan’s house!

    I think the most fun I’ve ever had with Gex is watching Dunkey’s videos making fun of it lol

    I have never found the Gex series to be “exciting,” even when it was new. Gex was always a shallow also-ran mascot in the time when everyone was trying to recapture that lightning in a bottle without understanding how it actually worked, and desperately trying to recreate what Sonic and Earthworm Jim and to a lesser extent Toejam and Earl had.

    He was marginally less annoying than Bubsy. That’s about all I can say about Gex.

    If I really decide to play some sub-par 90’s platforming stuffed with stilted and dated TV and movie references, my 3DO still works. Yes, really…

    I’ll get it for cheap at some point when it goes on sale. I remember playing 2 and liking it. But also that it felt kind of like a fever dream.
