Haha, I loved GEX! I think I know what fighting game you are talking about, it was horrible. Although it had the BEST version of Street Fighter 2 Turbo of any of the systems at the time.
The Alone in the Dark game was far superior to the PC version and introduced me into the survival horror genre. Way before Resident Evil came out. The story was so much better too with the spoken dialogue for all the notes and whatnot.
