Gex was the first game that I played that actually made me sick to my stomach. Hearing about all of this--I'm glad I made it that far.

I played and own most of those games. With the exception of Gex, I really didn't find many of them that awful. Sure Bubsy was a rip off and the sound was terrible and repeated a lot, but it was like every other game then, run right and jump on stuff. It didn't deviate enough from the formula to make you gag.

Boogerman was a little weird yeah even as a snot nosed kid I wasn't into it. But Rocky Rodent ruled, he put on hairspray and used that as a weapon! Mohawks ftw.

I saw this article and thought "It's the week of hate again??"
But then my excitement was crushed handily.
Oh well, still a really great article.

I admit that I really loved Gex, but only Gex 3D because I'd never played the first one, and the third one sucked.

See being European I got Leslie Phillips. This made Gex instantly likeable to me. Then in the third game Deep Cover Gecko, they changed it to a really fucking irritating black voice.

Dear GOD.

When watching the Bubsy video it was very hard for me to not take my laptop and sandwich my face between the screen and keyboard. I think I died a little inside. Why did I watch it? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why, but I liked to fart and burp in the face of some enemies with Boogerman. I think it's because real people don't like it very much.

I will be honest with viewers and gamers! I loved BOOGERMAN I thought it was the most funnest and immaturest game I've ever played but, farting and killing baddies was so funny and even picking boogers and flicking em at ppl, LMAO! I did all of that stuff thru out school and my childhood just bkuz of that game and I must say it has made me a much better person now bkuz whenever I fart and someone engulfs the green toxic cloud and start choking, I tell them ''Throw some whip-cream on that!'' I love to laugh and if I think it will make me laugh I will do or say it! I fucking hated GEX that game was so hard and stupid I just couldn't believe a human developed it and not a lizard.
