| abstract | - Gex lived in a nice isolated village in Maui, Hawaii with his mother and two-and-a-half younger siblings (their numbers depended upon their regenerative powers), and his father was away doing research for NASA. He spends his days hanging out with his friends, surfing, playing the ukulele, battling pineapples with his local ball club the Molokai Scalers, racking up the wee hours at the Poi Boy sushi, and throwing poi parties down on the beach with the local gecko ladies. That all changed when his dad was killed in an accident, Gex was distraught and spends all of his time watching TV to comfort himself. One week later, the family moved to Encino, California to start a new life. After trying everything to get him off the sofa, with help of their neighbor, a burly old lizard named Harv, Gex's mother sold it to some gypsies. Gex runs out the door, swearing to never come back to his TV-less home and has been living in the streets. A few months later, his mother found him and announced that they are rich because his great-uncle Charlie, the original model for Izod, died three days after Gex ran away, and his stock was over 20 billion dollars which they now inherits. Gex comes back into living, the family lived like billionaires for a few months, and Gex's mother opened up a theme restaurant featuring robotic space monkey. Gex took his share of the fortune and moved back to Maui, bought a mansion on the hillside, along with the world's largest big-screen TV, enough food for decades, and seals himself inside the house. A few days went by, things seem fine until one day while nothing good is on TV, flipping through channels, Gex eats a stray fly. Only, the fly was a transitter sent by the sinister Rez, the evil overlord of the Media Dimension. Rez was watching him through the TV screen, where he yanked Gex, still sitting on his comfy chair and wielding the remote, through his TV and into the Media Dimension, and chose him as the new network mascot. The only way Gex can escape Rez's madness is if he collects TV remote controls and finds a way out of the Media Dimension! Gex has to fight his way through five different channel-worlds within Rez's network of bad television and movies to reach Rez's domain and defeat him there.[1] After the events that take place in GEX the first game of the Gex video game series, Gex retires from his frantic life in the spot-light away from the paparazzi, the press conferences, the mobs of groupies, the TV interviews as well as those compromising photos in the International Inquirer with Farrah.
