This review will also cover Turok+, a mod which changes up the gameplay in numerous ways. This is actually a remastered version of the original PC port which contains slightly different levels than the Nintendo 64 version. This remastered version was ported to Xbox One in March, 2018. For this review I played the remastered version for PC which was released in December, 2015 and was developed by Night Dive Studios. A PC port was released in November of that same year. Developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Acclaim Entertainment, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was released for the Nintendo 64 in March, 1997. Evidently, the game is based on a comic book series which I’ve never read that I think dates back to the 1950’s. I know I saw the box or an advertisement of some sort and thought it looked awesome. I’m sure I’m missing a few, you may even want to throw Primal Rage in that list, but what else is there? I didn’t have a Nintendo 64 growing up but I kind of remember when Turok came out.
I know about the Jurassic Park games, Turok, and Dino Crisis. It was really cool. I do feel like the dinosaur representation in video games is sorely lacking. Growing up I had all kinds of dinosaur toys, I know I had a dinosaur shirt at one point, and I had this awesome Jurassic Park backpack for school. I think the film also set off this whole dinosaur-craze. I’m a huge fan of the film and it’s still one of my favorite films to date. I think it was the first time dinosaurs were realistically depicted in a Hollywood movie and it contained amazing special effects for the time. You should remember it because it was huge. Whether you’ve seen the film or not is irrelevant.
Anybody who was around in the nineties should remember Jurassic Park.
