This game was freaking bad ass when I played it in '97 and it still is

[Unpetraccable]

So... Night Dive Studios did it again.

I keep loving those guys.

Can't wait for Night Dive to release Turok 2 Seeds of Evil. Hope they include online multiplayer, even splitscreen multiplayer would be awesome.

I've got the N64 version and one of the most unique things about it aside from the game, you get a mini comic book that details a bit of backstory of not Tal-set, the original Turok, but that of Joshua Fireseed, being included inside the manual. Man, good times!!!

One of my all-time favourite games. I still have my complete copy for N64. Never tried other versions, but this looks absolutely gorgeus. Funnily enough, I never really had much trouble with the dreaded platform sections. Enabling the map made the platforming a breeze for me.

Piece of art, i would even pay 100$ for it.

The fog is what made this game cool. I'm glad they didn't remove it. Look at the GTA San Andreas remaster, they removed the fog and it was a big mistake. The fog in Turok was not only useful for the devs, it was appropriate for the game's setting because it was a mysterious world. The fog contributed a lot to the atmosphere.

God such childhood memories! Each sound the enemy, guns and Turok makes i remember.

[deadstockparadise]

I think the checkpoints, save points, lives & autosaves are part of the individual appeal of this game; it's an FPS with a lot of the design decisions of a classic 80s and early to mid 90s console game.

I bought this and played through it when it was on sale for $10. It was a childhood game i couldnt beat because i didnt even understand the save mechanic. It was nice to go back to it and beat it

[SegaMario]

I'm gonna wait for this and Turok 2 to go on sale. Turok 1 has mod support Turok 2 has many enhanced settings and multiplayer, which includes maps from the N64 version. Truly incredible stuff.

I love your reviews, I listen to them at work much like a podcast, the fact you can keep your reviews interesting through words to make them entertaining without visuals, is fantastic. Keep doing good work man, I hope your youtube career only expands from here.

Just downloaded Turok 1&2 for only like 15 bucks, definitely worth it. I miss classic fps games like these

[IMN]

this game was also great in its seamless transition is music from the open areas to caves and underwater

[ItsDeebs]

I enjoyed this. The Fusion Cannon and Chronoscepter were some of the best super weapons with their ridiculously overpowered display of firepower.

[Morpheus]

yeah the oldschool saving where you get set back and have to do everything again. i just started to play mortal kombat shaolin monks on ps2 again and there its the same. first time i got angry but now realized how much more skill and energy it requires to play these old games. and thats alot more fun thats why oldschool games where better

[CampionBun]

Gonna be covering Turok 2 when they touch that up too? That's the game I'm hyped for.

[PrideBornAmadi]

Got this for $5 thanks to the winter sale.

[dudem]

Was just waiting for your review to go up thanks so much for another great review

[PhriekshoTV]

I sincerely hope they bring Turok 3 and Evolution. Evolution is one of my all-time favorite classic FPS games
