Turok Rage Wars

I was trolling! I wrote my entire post about how we are open-minded, but then, for trollish fun, I purposefully bashed N64 in the final sentence.

It's an FPS. It's a Turok FPS. It's a Turok FPS running on N64. In other words it kinda makes me wish video games were never invented.

Nintendo 64. Meh.

Alien Vs Predator for the Jaguar is better.

My opinion on Turok.
To me, Dinosaur Hunter impressed me back in the day with its large well-constructed levels. A single level took me hours or days to complete on the first playthrough. I found the enemies well-designed, especially all the dinosaurs. I love dinos! Who doesn't? The graphics were nice enough for my taste, so the fog didn't bothered me too much in contrast to other N64 games - I just imagined this would be fitting to the atmosphere of jungle swamps. The weapons were fine too, I liked the mix of realistic and alien guns.

Turok 2 didn't interested me that much. I didn't liked the enemy designs.

Rage Wars just wasn't Turok anymore.

N64 had terrible draw distance on turok games.  I played 1and 2 on PC and it was a mediocre FPS game.

I tried 1 and 2 on PC once. The mouse controls in both games were pretty broken, they felt very laggy. These aren't good ports, especially Turok 1 controls so much better on N64. Too bad, so many other FPS at that time had perfect mouse controls on PC, e.g. Quake II.

1 is so confusing in the later levels. And I just couldn't take the damn fog anymore.

I heard Turok 2 is much better but you should play it on PC.

Dinosaur Hunter's level design is challenging in that it isn't truly linear in later stages. I understand that especially level 5, the catacombs, can be mazelike at first, but to me this is just part of the fun.

On every play through I find new secret rooms and hidden items. And every cave filled with bugs and leapers still scares the shit out of me.

EDIT' Hell, I even dig the jumping from platform to platform, since it feels just right. For aimless pussies, there's always the Automap that even helps with platforming.

on topic:
it's the same shit that happens any time there's something of "unknown rarity"
i got one of those grey carts, got kinda lucky with it.
somebody was trying to pawn one off on CL, tagged it at $100
i emailed him, "give ya $50"
he laughs
bout a month later, posts it at $90, i offer $50, he laughs.
rinse and repeat a few times, I eventually get it for $50 after about 3 months.

off topic:
y'all can blow me. N64 is fun.

off/on topic:
turok 1 and 2 are great, but rage wars and 3 blow chunks.

My feelings exactly.  For it's time it was a great game.  It just hasn't aged well.  And if you were already familiar with PC FPS games it was probably a let down.  But coming from the likes of SNES Wolfenstein and Doom it was pretty impressive.

Ok, I call bullshit here. Wasn't Turok 1 famous for being the most ridiculously foggy N64 game that had been released at that time? I'm pretty sure it was. So it's not as foggy as other games but it's also the foggiest game.

I think maybe you were just a 9 year old that liked dinosaurs and would play any old crap. That's fine...when you are nine. It's grown up time now.

We have PCEFX RAGE WARS.

2015.

What 9 year old doesn't like dinosaurs? And you get to blow them up, too? It's badass, man.

The game hasn't aged well, though. Of course, neither has Goldeneye...or really any older FPS. The N64 was a segue into 3D gaming. Love it or hate it, it was a necessary link between where we were and where we are.
