Gex 3: Enter the Gecko

August 17, 2025

I love this game, and I do have an appropriate piece of hardware history sitting in my game room, so I decided to try and get it running on my Windows 98SE installation. I have a Radeon 9600 series video card, which has served me well for many games. The DirectX gods did not favour us this time, however, and I could not get the game to run. I did install nGlide 1.05, which provides a series of Glide wrappers, but that did not get the game up and running for whatever reason.

I should mention that I am assuming it is a 3dfx compatibility issue at this point, but before that, I did try multiple resolutions and colour depths. I did not find an official patch for the game.

I think I need to build a 3dfx machine to get this working. The good news is that there are several games requiring 3dfx acceleration in the market, so it would not be one off build.
