for nearly 30 years i've modelled my entire being around this stupid gecko, and now he's here in a whole trilogy

i don't think it's perfect, so let's talk couple issues :

- save function decoupled from the game's original save systems. i don't hate it, but i know a lot of people will
- it's the US voice actor. i don't care but once again a lot of people will (edit: fixed in an update shortly after launch!)
- no real wide-screen support for gex 1. just the good ole stretch-ish thing. wish it got real upscaled resolution support
- the price. i'm a sucker for gex but 30 usd kinda be a lot for gex
- no way to remap controls. gex 1 will let you if you use the debug to go to the option menu, but what you see is what you get. especially bad for keyboards. (fixed in an update!)

the good :

- rewind function. it functions differently than just rewinding (letting you pick a moment from the past x amount of time) but it's fine.
- widescreen support for gex 2 & 3. a blessing
- similary, analogue camera controls for those games. you don't have to know the pain of remapping controls on something like the vita!
- bunch of extra stuff including dana gould interview. it's there i guess
- i no longer have to care for LRG as a company. they are bad, i hate them, i gave them my money, and now i can go back to pretending they don't exist anymore.

finally i can log in 100s of hours playing these damn games on steam... lock n load little lizard it's tail time..........

How tf do you waste 30 years on a franchise skin-deep as Gex?!

Least a few updates will help with some of the issues here. pal versions are on the way and key mapping should also be possible now

I have been enjoying the nostalgia trip and getting to playthrough the parts I couldn't really understand how to do as a kid so it's a long awaited adventure and I love every single second playing!
