The games are being released via Limited Run’s Carbon Engine, a development tool that helps create emulation-based ports of classic games for modern hardware. According to Limited Run, Gex Trilogy adds save state and rewind options for all three games, as well as new widescreen support for the second and third games.

The first game, Gex, was a 2D platformer released on the PS1, Saturn, 3DO and PC and saw the titular gecko travelling through the Media Dimension, exploring five themed TV channels in an attempt to defeat the evil overlord Rez.
The sequel Gex: Enter the Gecko was released on PS1,N64and PC and shifted the gameplay to a 3D platform engine, with Rez once again travelling through TV-based worlds taking such themes as children’s cartoons, sci-fi shows and Kung Fu movies.
Finally, Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko was released on PS1 and N64 and has Gex returning on the Media Dimension one more time to rescue his (human) girlfriend Agent Xtra.
