Another casualty was GEX, a secret-agent Gecko first developed in 1995 by Crystal Dynamics, released for the Sony PlayStation and 3DO consoles.

One of the only negatives I had about the original Pocket Micro was regarding the analogue sticks that felt out of place, they portruded out of the shell which made it awkward to slide in and out of my pocket daily.
