About this listen

Join Jeff and PJ as they dive tail-first into Gex 2: Enter the Gecko, the witty, pop-culture-packed platformer released by Crystal Dynamics in 1998 for PlayStation 1. Originally inspired by groundbreaking 3D platformers like Mario 64, Gex returns—this time in full 3D glory—bringing attitude, humor, and a barrage of quirky one-liners voiced by comedian Dana Gould.

In this episode of Cartridge Chronicles, the guys explore Gex’s adventures through television-themed worlds, discuss the game's unique voiceovers, and highlight the updates made in the recent remastered trilogy. From wrestling finicky camera controls to reliving the hilarious pop-culture references (Austin Powers, anyone?), discover why this game left such a nostalgic mark. Plus, Jeff and PJ unpack regional voiceover differences, share childhood memories, and discuss the ambitious (and bizarre) N64 and Game Boy Color ports.

Grab your remote and buckle up—because as Gex would say, “It’s tail time!”
