''[[Gex]]'' was a platformer franchise featuring a gecko who entered TV and movie themed worlds. The first entry, the simply titled ''Gex'', was a 2D platformer for the 3DO, and later the Playstation 1 and Sega Saturn. The next installment switched to 3D platforming, with ''Gex: Enter the Gecko''. It was released for the [[PS 1]] and N64. The N64 port is noted for cutting out several levels due to space constraints and lacking cutscenes the game previously had (though to be fair, it featured one level that the [[PS 1]] version lacked). The final entry, ''Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko'', was again released on the [[PS 1]] and N64 (which did not have any of the FMVs).

Despite being fairly successful and its developer continuing most of its other franchises from the era into the next (and expectations that it ''would'' make the leap), the franchise ended with the release of the last game in 1999 and has not resurfaced. It is also not remembered widely, unlike many other [[PS 1]]-specific franchises; the creators of Official Playstation Magazine even expressed [[Old Shame|shock and embarrassment that they had put the third game on their cover!]]
