Gex: Enter the Gecko
Parent game
"Is it just me, or am I engulfed in flames?" is one of the many one-liners uttered by Gex, a wise cracking gecko who should check himself into television rehab; he's addicted to it. After saving the Television Realm from the evil Rez in his first adventure, the gecko was ready to kick back, relax, and watch a little television. Little did he know his adventure was just beginning. One day, two secret agent goons showed up at Gex's doorstep. They inform him that Rez is back and looking for vengeance; the evil monster is planning to destroy the Television Realm once more...and possibly the world. When Gex tells them that he's retired and doesn't care, one of the goons hits the gecko on the head and takes him to a secluded place. When Gex comes to, the mystery men plead with the gecko to take the cash and help destroy Rez for good...or at least make him disappear. With that incentive (the cash), the wise cracking lizard slips into his special agent suit and plunges headfirst into the Television Realm. Watch out, Rez -- Gex is back!

Gex Trilogy is the definitive edition of the classic platforming series with Gexcessive attitude, complete with Gextras like rewind and save anywhere. Relive Gex's snark-laced adventures through the warped lens of twentieth-century pop culture and use your Gexterity to survive an onslaught of television-themed challenges.
Even a lost island hideaway in the wet South Pacific isn't far enough away from the long arm of Rez. While GEX was whiling away the hours living on the fruits of his recent successes, the madman of the Media Dimension was working on his new hobby - secret agent-napping. Agent Xtra was now struggling for her freedom as a hostage in the lair of Rez. As a master of disguise, GEX had his work cut out for him. Another descent into bad TV movies is at hand. To the GEXCaves!
When Gex is watching TV one day, he discovers that Rez has kidnapped Agent Xtra (the agent from Gex: Enter the Gecko's backstory), head of the TV Terrorist Defense Unit, to get to him. He teleports to the batcave-like lair he has in the Media Dimension, and begins another adventure. Each level parodies a certain aspect of television culture (here the levels exist as stand-alone channels). Gex enters each level through a television set. He must collect remote controls to advance to the next level in order to complete his mission and rescue Xtra. This N64 port removes some suggestive content.

You follow the wizard, and he kidnaps the girl, commenting that she will make a nice gift for Mr. Wardner. We can't have that, can we?On your quest to save your friend, you have to travel across 5 levels, to reach the evil Mr. Wardner. You will have to destroy monsters, jump over and duck under various traps, and collect gold and orbs to help you with your journey.You have a weapon meter on the bottom of the screen, which shows your current weapon, and weapon power (1 to 8). All weapons use the same power, so if you change weapons, you won't lose the power. The power, rather than making your weapon stronger, lets you fire it faster.
You are one of the last remaining great sorcerers. The other three have been kidnapped and it's up to you to rescue them.

Wiz and Liz are magicians. They live on the planet Pum and brew potions and cast spells. They also tend to rabbit-like creatures called "wabbits". One day, a concoction goes awry and sends all the wabbits to distant parts of Pum. Wiz and Liz set off to look for them. The game is an action platformer divided into several stages. In each one of them, either Wiz or Liz must collect wabbits before time runs out. The player must pick up floating letters that appear when a wabbit is collected, and use them to spell out a magic word shown at the top of the screen. Once the word has been spelled, the newly found wabbits leave fruit, stars, and clocks that increase the time limit. The time limit can also be extended by picking up a glowing orange orb which appears during the last ten seconds of the counter, adding thirty seconds to it.
Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Curse was the cancelled Game Boy Color incarnation of what would eventually become Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge.
Mickey Mania 2 was a planned sequel to Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse, set to arrive on the Sega Mega Drive. The game was not officially announced, but its existence was revealed by Jon Burton, co-founder of Traveller's Tales. The game would have played similarly to the first, though would have featured stages based on different Mickey Mouse cartoons as well as including new mechanics. It was cancelled by Traveller's Tales in favour of the console version of Toy Story, though an early prototype is known to exist. Footage of the prototype shows a wild west stage and a ship stage loosely based on the 1934 cartoons, Two-Gun Mickey and Shanghaied, respectively. The latter stage originally featured a scrolling floor and a first-person stage that jokingly used a placeholder HUD to parody Doom - these features would be repurposed for Toy Story.
