Gex: Hyɛn The Gecko on Game Boy Color yɛ saa weird, late-'90s platformers a ɔkwan bi so no ɛyɛ adwuma no mu biako. Wobɔ sɛ ɔkraman a ɔyɛ ɔbadwemma a ɔrehuruhuruw wɔ wiase ahorow a wɔde TV ayɛ mu—biribiara fi sini ahorow a ɛyɛ hu so kosi nyansahu mu ayɛsɛm so—a ɛkyere akyirikyiri de bue mmeae foforo. Controls no yɛ stiff kakra sɛ wɔde toto console versions no ho a, nanso levels no wɔ saa bizarre charm yi a mum aseresɛm ne references wɔ baabiara.

First level drops wo wɔ cheesy noir detective setting mu, na wɔ simma kakraa bi mu no worebɔ film reels na worekwati rolling film canisters. Kɔla palette no yɛ nwonwa sɛ ɛfata GBC, sɛ mpo Gex ankasa te sɛ soseji a ɛyɛ ahabammono sen ɔkraman a. Ɛyɛ janky, nanso saa kwan no so a wokɔ so bɔ kɛkɛ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wubehu mum TV trope a wɔbɛyɛ parody akyi.

Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ nostalgia akwantu sɛ wokae PS1 bere no, nanso ɛda so ara yɛ oddly playable sɛ wopɛ collect-a-thons ne suban.
