10 Outrageously Dirty Secrets You Won’t Believe Are Hidden In Children’s Games

4. Gex, the Innuendo Lizard €“ Gex

As a child, you'd probably not pay a smidgeon of attention to what Gex, the wise-cracking lizard, is actually saying. You'll also probably not pay attention to the world around you, which is filled with little gags that are more geared towards the adult audience. Gex was never intended specifically for adults. At its core, its a 3D platformer in the same vein as Super Mario 64, Croc and other games, accessible for all ages but mainly intended for kids. That didn't stop the developers throwing in some great adult content though! Here's some examples: 'It's tail time!' 'Licking my way to the top!' 'A little tongue now, a lot of tail later' The words 'Pawn Shop!' daubed on the walls in a Christmas level Gex's busty girlfriend played by Marliece Andrada, Playboy model 'My tail says hello.' 'Warning: yellow patch' - snow level 'My nipples feel like snow peas! Make it warm number one!' 'With this raincoat I make the perfect Sherlock Holmes... or a flasher!' 'I've just deduced that my shorts are too tight and I like it.' Anime schoolgirls in little short skirts as enemies The list literally goes on and on and on. The quotes in the Gex games differ between the European and North American versions, which had different voice actors. Both are still incredibly saucy at times and are made to reflect the culture they talk about. Most of the Gex games are KA rated, which means they're suitable for everyone, with a few exceptions. Nipples and talking about flashers, plus Playboy models eh? More than a bit risque, in my opinion.
