About GEX Trilogy
GEX Trilogy brings the three original Gex titles to Windows with modern visual and control upgrades while keeping the classic platforming intact. The 3D entries run in native 16:9 widescreen, and the collection adds optional CRT filters, borders, and rewind and save anywhere.
Beyond the gameplay, the package includes a music player, a museum of key art, vintage TV commercials, and a new interview with voice actor Dana Gould. Single‑player mode is supported alongside Steam achievements, cloud saves, trading cards, and family sharing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Native 16:9 Widescreen
All three games are rendered in a modern 16:9 aspect ratio, replacing the original display formats while preserving level geometry. This visual update fills contemporary monitors without altering gameplay.
The widescreen mode works together with optional CRT filters and borders, letting players choose a retro look or a clean high‑definition presentation. No gameplay mechanics are changed by these visual options.
- Enable the CRT filter for a nostalgic glow.
- Use borderless mode for an unobstructed view.

Analog Control Options
GEX Trilogy offers rebuilt 360‑degree analog controls for the two 3D entries, providing finer movement precision than the original 8‑way digital scheme.
Both analog and digital schemes are selectable in the options menu and apply only to the 3D titles; the 2D game retains its classic input style. No additional controller features are described.
- Start with analog mode to feel the new responsiveness.
- Switch back to digital if analog feels too sensitive.
03 / THE GUIDE
Rewind and Save Anywhere
A rewind feature records recent gameplay and lets players backtrack moments in any of the three games, paired with the ability to save at any point.
The tool works across all titles, letting players backtrack moments for smoother platforming.
- Use rewind after a missed jump to keep momentum.
- Save before boss encounters for quick retries.
