How to play gex on pc?
You're a wealthy young gecko, not interested in the upwardly mobile world of your family. All you want out of life is a bowl of flies, a large reliable television, and a remote control. But Rez, Lord of the Media Dimension, has other plans; he wants you to be the new network mascot and that involves being dipped in bronze. Ouch. After being yanked into the Media Dimension, you travel from the Cemetery and New Toonland to Jungle Isle and Kung Fuville to the final showdown in Rezopolis. Your only chance of escape is to collect remote controls and turn off the televisions blocking your exit. Moving from world to world, you will have to avoid or destroy many assorted nasties including Frankengeckos, bomb-lobbing cartoon characters, and various attack televisions, as well as defeating (and in one case, avoiding) the boss monster in each world.
Gex was originally designed as an arcade style game for home console systems (e.g. Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn) and is best played with a game pad, although it can be played with the keyboard. You can run, jump, and swim your way through each world, collecting gold bugs to gain more lives, tongue-lashing to grab special power spheres (electric breath, fire breath, power jump, extra lives, health, etc.) and tail-whipping to destroy the bad guys. Gex himself makes quips throughout the game (his voice is provided by comedian Dana Gould), mainly appropriately funny quotes from and references to various movies and old television shows.
The one thing I did not like was a leftover from the home console version: you must play several levels before you are given a password which will return you to that spot when you re-enter the game. As a PC gamer I've become used to being able to save games after completing each level at the very least, and I occasionally got frustrated with Gex's password system as it does not allow you to keep any extra lives you have gathered or to keep any of the points you have earned. You also have to replay levels you have already mastered each time you reload the game, until you have played enough levels to gain the next save code.
The graphics are good arcade fare with an excellent full motion animation intro. The audio adds to the overall flavor of each world -- creepy music for the cemetery, jazzy and disjointed for New Toonland, and an Asian mood for Kung Fuville -- without being intrusive.
There is very little documentation, but this game doesn't need it. The booklet gives a basic rundown of commands (for keyboard or game pad), a bare-bones storyline, a few sentences about each world in the game, and an explanation on how to access the online help. The online documentation contains a lengthy and funny background story for the game. I would recommend reading it, if only for laughs, and several hints in case you get stuck.

Reviewed on: I played Gex on an AMD 5x86-133 and although the game complained on startup that I did not have a Pentium, I had no trouble with performance.

You can find several collectable power-ups at different levels in the game. These power-ups can give Gex various abilities like invulnerability, improved speed and one amongst various kinds of projectiles that can be released from the mouth. Gex can acquire and make use of the power-ups just by taking out the gecko tongue and having them. Alternately, the items can also be whipped by the tail for restoring the lost heart at the cost of the basic effect of an item.
The player starts the game initially with just three lives, but, he can earn more lives just by collecting Golden flies at a level. If someone loses all their lives, the game might end and players will be forced to start again from the starting point. By collecting more lives, the player can confuse playing the game without getting killed again and again.
Several default abilities which are already provided to Gex also take an advantage of his special attributes being a gecko. Additionally, apart from walking, running and jumping, he can also get himself attached to ceilings and walls to keep crawling with them with the help of suction pads on their feet, letting him reach high areas. Gex attacks by his tail, like his tail, can be whipped in a complete circle for defeating the enemies, activating switches and deflecting projectiles. It can also be coiled in a shape like that of spring for bouncing off objects and enemies.
