I didn't see "better, stronger, faster" (from $6 billion man)-

I was pretty sure that that was one of the things he said when he got a powerup. I didn't put it on the page because I wasn't 100% positive that it was right. Anyone else remember that?

I'm sure there are many more, however I can't remember them all - also bear in mind I mainly listed those spoken from the first Gex game. However If someone is up to it I would gladly accept it if they re-organised the catchphrases into an organised system. As it stand now it's slightly messy. Piecraft 13:16, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

One of the phrases I remember from Gex 2 was him singing the chorus from "Road to Nowhere" by Talking Heads. British Ben 12:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
