Gex, an anthropomorphic gecko living in Maui, Hawaii, is a TV-obsessed couch potato who inherited a fortune from his great-uncle. In the first game, he’s pulled into the Media Dimension by Rez, the overlord of this TV-inspired world, via a drone disguised as a fly. Gex must collect remote controls to destroy TVs and escape. In the sequels, Gex continues his adventures, battling Rez and his henchmen across parodic levels mimicking genres like sci-fi, horror, and spy films. His sarcastic humor, voiced by Dana Gould, is a hallmark of the series, with over 300 one-liners per game.
