Gex: Enter the Gecko (PlayStation)

Gex: Enter the Gecko is the second installment in the juggernaut Gex franchise. Players assume the role of Gex, a wise-cracking critter with 'tude to spare, as he explores and collects trinkets in dozens of wacky 3D worlds.

Debug Mode
The game features a debug mode which can be activated through a button code. Pause the game, highlight Exit (or Quit if in the hub), then while holding L2, press Left, Circle, Up, Down, Right, Right, Left, Triangle, Up, Down. A sound effect will play upon entry (for any code).

To open the menu, press select. Pressing select again will close the menu without disabling it. Menu navigation is done entirely through the d-pad: Press up and down to move over the options, left/right to turn a selection on/off. Input will still be processed by the status screen while in the debug menu. The pause (start) button will be disabled until the debug menu is dismissed. If the menu is closed by pressing X you will have to enter the code to open it again, but if (Short) Short Stats are on they will remain on screen. It's not possible to access the debug menu in the demo version of the game. Only the debug strings are present.

Menu Options

 * Short Short Stats: Displays Gex's XYZ coordinates.


 * Short Stats: Displays everything from Short Short Stats plus some other technical stuff.


 * Collectibles Menu: These are all fairly obvious in their function, except remote cheat which doesn't seem to do anything. Increment values - and + with left and right.


 * Level Select Menu: Selections are made with the X button. This can also be opened through its own button code: Pause the game, highlight Exit, then while holding L2 press Right, Right, Left, Right, Triangle, Down, Right. Open the menu by pressing select. You will not get the option to return to the main menu unless you accessed the level select through the debug code.

Voice Test
Pause the game and highlight Exit, then while holding L2, press Triangle, Left, Circle, Up, Down. Pressing select will play a random voice clip from any character (not necessarily Gex).

Ghost Cam cheat
In the original version, Pause the game and highlight Exit, then while holding L2, press Right, Triangle, Right, Triangle, Right, Triangle.

In the demo version, you can access the "Ghost Cam" by overwriting the values starting at address 0x80087548 and ending at 0x80087539 by 4D 41 43 5F 54 53 4F 48 47 2D.

Regional Differences
The PAL version completely swaps out Gex's voice and script, replacing Dana Gould's voice track with a more UK-centric script voiced by Leslie Phillips (best known as the Sorting Hat from the Harry Potter films).
