Seeing the necessity for a reliable, independent website to upload Turok mods and content, on April 7th, 2017, Turok Forums founder Duke Sixty Four published the Turok Sanctum website, so as to curate, showcase, and overall become a resource for the Turok community. Admins and members from Turok Forums use this site to go along with the forums. Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is a first-person shooter video game developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Acclaim for the Nintendo 64 console.
Submitted on 3/2/2018 Review title of GunRookieAmazing gameNever able to play it on the Nintendo 64, this is my first playthrough and just WOW! I had to pause the game to write this review so I could let everyone know how good this game is. I will be buying a copy of Turok 2 and purchasing a copy for my friend. It's amazing how a game this old has me smiling and happy when my copies of Farcry, Call of duties and Battlefields just frustrate. Here's hoping we get a Doom 64 release similiar to the source engine on pc. Submitted on 3/4/2018 Review title of Julz RodrizzoAmazing!!This brings back the ol' feels.
I for one don't miss the use of the D pad to toggle walk/run as needed on N64. The X1's analog stick is MUCH more responsive and delicate enough to do that.
Turok n64 map. The studio previously worked on ports of System Shock 2 and I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, among others.Like most N64-era games, there's a good chance that Turok won't live up to your memories of the game, as early 3D adventures tend not to age well. The new versions are being developed by Night Dive Studios, a developer that specializes in revamping classic games for modern hardware. Dust off that bow and arrow: Turok is making a comeback. Turok: Dinosaur Hunter — the cult classic Nintendo 64 shooter about killing dinosaurs, which first launched in 1997 — and its sequel are being remastered for PC, with updated graphics and 'other improvements.'
This is great to have on my big screen and sound system rather than on my old CRT TV. It has an in depth customization to suit most needs for graphics and button mapping as well as an option to use PC or N64 audio. Extra details with the new graphics engine such as the water reflection and HD textures are noticeable off the bat. BUY this game to re-live your youth or to show your younglings a thing or two about how the late 90s did it (without the low def tv).
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is a first-person shooter video game developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Acclaim for the Nintendo 64 console and Microsoft Windows. It was released in 1997 in North America and Europe. Turok is an adaptation of the Acclaim Comics comic book series of the same name. The player controls Turok, a Native American warrior, who must stop the evil Campaigner from conquering the universe with an ancient and powerful weapon.As Acclaim's first title for the Nintendo 64, Turok was part of a strategy to develop games internally and license merchandise; Acclaim acquired the rights to Turok when it purchased Valiant Comics in 1994, renaming it Acclaim Comics. Suffering from cash flow problems and falling sales, Acclaim came to rely on Turok as its best hope for a financial turnaround. Iguana pushed the Nintendo 64's graphics capabilities to its limits, and were forced to compress or cut elements to fit the game on its 8 megabyte cartridge. Bugs delayed the game's release from September 1996 to January 1997.Critical reception of Turok was highly positive.
Becoming one of the most popular games for the console on release, Turok won praise for its graphics and evolution of the genre. Complaints centered on graphical slowdowns caused by multiple enemies appearing onscreen and occasionally awkward controls. The game sold 1.5 million copies and boosted sales of the Nintendo 64. Turok spawned a video game franchise that includes a direct sequel, titled Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, in 1998, and a prequel, Turok: Evolution, in 2002. A remastered version of the game by Nightdive Studios was released through digital distribution for Microsoft Windows on December 17, 2015, followed by an Xbox One release on March 2, 2018 and a Nintendo Switch release on March 18, 2019.Gameplay. Played from a first person perspective, the three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics and style of play combine elements of the run-and-gun computer game Doom with exploration mechanics of Tomb Raider. Players begin the game in a central hub level, which contains portals to seven other stages.
The player must find keys scattered across the stages. When enough keys have been inserted into the lock mechanisms of a hub portal, that level is unlocked.

Players explore the large, typically jungle-based levels by jumping, swimming, climbing, crawling, and running.One of the player's main objectives is to find pieces of a relic known as the Chronoscepter; there is one piece on each level. In exploring the levels the player fights various enemies such as poachers, gunmen, indigenous warriors, dinosaurs, demons, and insects. Turok features 13 weapons plus the Chronoscepter, ranging from a knife and bow to high tech weaponry. All weapons except the knife require ammunition, which is dropped by dead enemies or picked up in the levels. Enemies and boss characters have multiple death animations depending on what body region the player shot. Because items dropped by fallen enemies rapidly disappear, players must engage foes from close range.The player character's health is shown as a number at the bottom of the screen. When the player is at full health, the meter reads 100, while dropping to 0 subtracts one life.
Gathering 'life force' points scattered across the levels increases the player's life count by one for every 100 points accumulated. Players restore their health by picking up powerups, which can increase their health above full. Players may also gain health points by shooting deer or non-threatening wildlife.PlotThe player assumes control of Tal'Set (Turok), an American Indian time-traveling warrior. The mantle of Turok is passed down every generation to the eldest male.
Each Turok is charged with protecting the barrier between Earth and the Lost Land, a primitive world where time has no meaning. The Lost Land is inhabited by a variety of creatures, from dinosaurs to aliens. An evil overlord known as the Campaigner seeks an ancient artifact known as the Chronoscepter, a weapon so powerful that it was broken into pieces to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. The Campaigner plans on using a focusing array to magnify the Chronoscepter's power, destroying the barriers that separate the ages of time and rule the universe. Turok vows to find the Chronoscepter's eight pieces and prevent the Campaigner's schemes.ReceptionTurok was a critical and commercial success, earning rave reviews from video game magazines and becoming the most popular title for the Nintendo 64 in the months following its release.
On the aggregate review web sites Metacritic and GameRankings, the console version of Turok has an 85% and 86.6% rating, respectively, each figure based on scores from thirteen contemporary and recent reviews.Douglass Perry of the multimedia website IGN compared Turok favorably to other first person shooters, saying that the title distinguished itself by allowing a level of 3D movement not possible in other members of the genre. Scary Larry of GamePro, who gave Turok a perfect score in all four categories (control, funfactor, graphics, and sound), similarly said 'Turok has more firepower, more control over its environment, and more gruesome graphics than other corridor shooters.'
While agreeing that the game offers greater freedom of movement, a Next Generation reviewer opined that first-person platforming does not work since the player cannot see their character. He found this strongly contrasted with the game's 'top notch' shooting elements. The Australian's Steve Polak wrote that while Turok was highly derivative, the game was evidence of the evolution of the genre, offering more graphics and gameplay options. Video game magazine Edge said that Turok contradicted the prevailing notion at the time that only Nintendo could create superior games for the console. In contrast, William Burrill of The Toronto Star wrote that Turok offered nothing new if players had tried a first-person shooter before, and Next Generation Online said that its similar gameplay essentially made the game 'a very pretty Duke Nukem'. The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly remarked that while the graphics and animation are stunning, the controls and level design are lacking. Speaking to Shacknews in 2007, Propaganda Games's Josh Holmes said that while GoldenEye 007 is commonly considered the standard-setting console shooter, Turok pioneered the console shooter first by offering open environments and deviating from the corridor-based shooters that were the standard until then.Reviewers found that Turok's controls generally worked well.
Welcome to the Past Cure Wiki. Past Cure is a cinematic, story driven experience where the player follows the struggle of a broken man searching for the missing pieces of his mind. With intense cutscenes and intriguing story items throughout the levels, the players can unravel a story that will keep them guessing til the end. Past cure wikipedia.
Perry, Scary Larry, and Next Generation all noted that while many players would not initially like using the Nintendo 64's analog stick for weapon movement, they would become adept at the control scheme. The Electronic Gaming Monthly review team, however, said they wished the controls could be reconfigured to a scheme that was easier to master. Polak wrote that the joystick let players aim with a remarkable amount of precision. George Mannes of The Daily News found the controls to be easy to learn and simple to keep track of in comparison to PC shooters, but said the joystick control could be disorienting: 'the only problem is when you look up in the air and make the slightest twitch to the left or the right, you can end up like a tourist staring up at the Empire State Building and whirling like a dervish,' he wrote. Reviewers found that the game's included tutorial helped players adapt to the controls.
