"It's gone!"

Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Genderbender, a fun comedic Sci-Fi adventure game that's also a curious relic from the pre-political correctness era, is available for only $5.99 for Windows and Mac OS X on GOG.com.

A priceless vase is lost on a distant planet that doesn't exist. An irate colonel wants it back. And only one man is experienced enough...skilled enough...and foolish enough to retrieve it: interstellar adventurer and bungling bachelor Rex Nebular! Join Rex as he pilots the Slippery Pig on a crash course for Terra Androgena, a planet populated entirely by bizarre alien women with big agendas of their own. Overcome the dizzying array of obstacles and endless traps preventing Rex from returning the priceless pottery. Feel the grotesque effects of the frightening Gender Bender machine!

Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Genderbender is another classic adventure from the days long gone to hit GOG.com. It's an adventure game sporting the classic point-and-click interface and unmistakable 2D graphics. It's full of cheesy humor, popular pulp science-fiction tropes, quirky puzzles, and an amount of sexual stereotypes that would get any game banned or at least heavily protested in modern times. Whether you secretly enjoy this type of humor or you're adamantly against it, you should get this one if only to see how much games have changed as a medium over the course of the last 20-or-so years.

Become the space adventurer and self proclaimed "cool man" to explore weird alien planets and even weirder pop-culture of the early 1990s in Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Genderbender, for only $5.99 on GOG.com.

fortune_p_dawg: Did you play the sequel, Iron Sword? I got it for my eighth birthday along with Faxanadu and I remember it having a picture of Fabio on the front, lol! I loved the music in Iron Sword so much, I can accurately hum the music in my head (almost 23 years later) even today.
Faxanadu!!!! Man, that game creeped me out when I was a kid :D

I think I played some Iron Sword but I remember the first one better...

Faxanadu was quite badass. I remember coming across the first boss while searching a dungeon for a pickaxe (the dungeons were dank, dark, and menacing in a good way), and it was a big blue wyvern that gave me one of my first 'HOLY SHIT WTF' gaming moments. He went down easy though after nailing him with the fire spell you buy in the first town.

Shit... I could reminisce all day, lol!

I remember the boss music was creepy too :)

Heck, the game was one of the better side scrolling adventures on the NES. Better than Zelda 2 :D

Once again, good to see you back and looking forward to stuff, mate!
I'm most looking forward to Slave Zero, as I feel like I've said 1 million times at this point...

JudasIscariot: Me too, I remember reading about this game waaaay, waaaaaaayyyyyyy back when and seeing a guy in the desert with a fish for no particular reason. I have been wanting to play that game all those years :D
Does Tommo have rights to Return of the Phantom? That is the last of Microprose adventures missing here (they did Dragonsphere, Rex Nebular, Bloodnet and Return of the Phantom).

Also, Microprse published The Legacy: Realm of Terror, does Tommo have anything with this game?

I'd check that document on page 74 and 75 :)

Legal doc with Tommo treasures.

I hope this is also your checklist of releases for the coming year :p Although going through that document I'm sad that Stardock got ahold of Star Control, there goes the chance of something nice. They still have to redeem themselves with GalCiv 3, because for me at least, Sins of a Solar Empire was a letdown compared to GalCiv 2

I did, but there's nothing about RotP there. So who has the rights to RotP?

Excellent release, never even heard of this game but it looks like it could be awesome!

This game... so much yes.

I played Rex Nebular many many times back in the day, it was my favourite point-and-click adventure game. Very fond memories of this title :).
Posted March 13, 2014
Cool release! So far it's been a rather strong year for adventures on GOG.
Posted March 13, 2014
I wonder what the next RPG added to GOG will be, classic wise. Newer would probably be Divinity Original Sin, Wasteland 2, or all the way into the future with Pillars of Eternity or Torments: Tides of Numenera, and all but Divinity I've pre-purchased, but...

I need more classic RPG's :(
