Gex 3 - Deep Cover Gecko (Europe) (GBC)

In Gex 3 - Deep Cover Gecko for the Game Boy Color, you take control of Gex, a wisecracking gecko secret agent. His mission is to thwart the evil Rez, who is attempting to take over the world through his vast television network.

The game is a traditional 2D side-scrolling platformer where Gex must navigate through a series of levels themed around various TV genres. Each TV world offers a unique setting, from spooky horror movies and outer space sci-fi to whimsical cartoons and even cooking shows.

Gex possesses a signature set of abilities to deal with enemies and overcome obstacles. His primary attack is a powerful tail whip, used to defeat foes or destroy breakable objects. He can also use his tongue lash to eat flies for points or, in some instances, to latch onto specific grapple points for swinging across gaps.

Wall crawling is another crucial skill, allowing Gex to reach higher areas or discover hidden secrets. Players will need to master precise jumps over perilous pits, avoid deadly traps, and solve minor environmental puzzles to progress.

The main objective in each level is to collect remote controls. Gathering enough remotes unlocks new worlds and stages. Additionally, there are coins and various power-ups scattered throughout the levels to assist Gex on his journey.

Each world typically culminates in a unique boss battle, requiring players to identify their weaknesses and employ appropriate strategies. With its detailed 2D graphics and challenging yet classic platforming gameplay, Gex 3 - Deep Cover Gecko delivers a humorous and engaging adventure for fans of the genre on the GBC.
