Digging through my PC games collection, I came across a curious copy of Gex 3D: Enter The Gecko.
All of the text on the covers is Dutch, but what struck me as odd was that it was a 3DFX branded version, and it was published by Midway, despite claims on Wikipedia that Midway only published the game in the US, whereas Ubisoft published the game in the EU. I have noticed that no version of Gex 2, or any Gex the Gecko game for that matter, is on the FTP right now.
Should I go ahead and upload this one? The only problem I'm facing is that it doesn't have a version number, the EXE on both the disc and in the installation folder are lacking one, the only version number I could find is for the InstallShield used, which is probably irrelevant. That, and the oddball-nature of this copy, is why I figured I'd ask here first. I have included a small, edited preview scan of the front cover to this post.

Quite unique. Did it come as a bundle with other games when it was released?

insert obvious popular-culture-referencing one-liners here
Looks good. Probably bundled with Voodoo 2 cards. Googled up a game review covering this PC release.

Seems likely, as one other bundled game I can definitely remember from the Voodoo 2 was Rage Software's "Incoming" (It's actually a personal favourite of mine).Okaris wrote:Quite unique. Did it come as a bundle with other games when it was released?

Preserving since the last time we all partied like it's 1999...

We'd be interested in archiving that title. Always nice with original 3Dfx titles.

Uploaded!
Sadly, all I have is the game itself, so I don't know if this was bundled in with other games. But as said, it's highly likely.Okaris wrote:Quite unique. Did it come as a bundle with other games when it was released?
