More Gex

A Cheech and/or Chong, please report to the front desk.

>>4112153
Exactly lol

>>4112150
>the funny phrases Gex says

Borderlands funny, maybe.

Another platformer I enjoyed as a child is Chameleon Twist, especially the 2nd one.

>really fun tongue stuff

>>4112171
Gex's charm is nostalgic to me I guess

This screen screen was cut in the N64 version.

Donkey Kong

>tfw had the N64 version as a kid
>didn't even know there was a PS1 version
>check it out years later

Holy fuck I missed out on so much

Definitely not sonic.

>>4112150
Gex is actually the only good platformer. Not many people know this, but it's true.

>>4112150

Duck dodgers for the N64. Srlsy, try it out. Best hidden gen on the console.

>>4112175

I always prefered the first one. The second one became generic and lost its charm. Also, no multiplayer.

>>4112185

Rented this and Glover not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. N64 did not exactly have a huge library back then.

>>4112150
Saying "no Banjo/Spyro" would work better for cutting out common picks.
I like Croc to an extent, but maybe it is because I feel fucking sorry for Argonaut after (((nintendo))) did what nintendo does best. Gex is nice, I oddly like it more now that it is dated than I did upon release.

Fuck, this is kinda hard to pick.

I loved this game, was a good 3d platformer/over the shoulder shooter. Difficult as fuck too.

>>4112578
Shame the dude getting shot IRL ruined the franchise opportunity.

>>4112580
Shit just read about that dudes death.
Guess that's what happens when you go for a junkie.
At least now I know a fun fact about the game, thanks anon

>>4112580
Which dude got shot?

>>4112598
Phil Hartman. Voice of blasto

>>4112370
Same I hated the redesigns on the characters such a turn off. I rented the first one so many times.

>>4112191
The N64 port of Gex was trash

Bug was also a good game. Specifically the 2nd one. So aesthetic.

I wouldn't call this my favorite game, but a 3D platformer on the Amiga was quite an achievement (100% written in Assembler). And despite it's optional GFX card support, it run on the original chipset (AGA, so Amiga 1200 and better) too.

>>4112150
Deep Cover Gecko was funnier, imho. The PSX version had a lot of sexual innuendos and the one-liners were top-notch.

>>4112150
Anything by Hudson, Taito or Sunsoft.

In a land before time back when SNL was funny

>>4112171
Gex humor is like watching Scary Movie. It aged horribly but if you grew up with it it'll still give you nostalgia laughs over how funny it used to be.

I only ever played the first one because I hated how the second one tried to make the character look more like an actual chameleon.

>The PSX version had a lot of sexual innuendos
Wait they took shit out of the N64 version? I always thought Gex billed itself as a game for older gamers to the point that they wouldn't kiddie up any versions of it. If it was censored I'll have to try out the PSX version sometime.

>>4112395
Still doesnt

>>4113736
PC version isn't censored either.

>>4113736
It isn't so much censorship as they literally ran out of cart space.

>>4113524
It looks interesting from a technical point of view. The level and art design look very bland however.

>what is Mega Man

>>4114094
Turrican for children.

Master of Darkness. It's like Castlevania done right.

>>4114098
Turrican is Psycho Nics Oscar for retards.

>>4112580
Didn't another guy die during development? like the director or something. David poe.

>>4112640
Thank America for that. The Japanese version of Chameleon Twist 2 still has the original designs.

Collec-A-Thon's Bad Fur Day was the best. Too bad it was actually it's multiplayer that made it a hit.

I only ever played Gex for the GBC.
It was trash.
