  I grew up on the reservation. Turok was one of the few pieces of Native American representation in modern media, at the time. My mom worked at a video rental store and used to bring me game consoles and video games all the time. I&apos;ll never forget when she brought me Turok. She was so excited to see a Native American in a video game, so she wanted to play it with me. We had no idea how the hell to play the game as I was quite young at the time. We didn&apos;t even have a color tv yet! Then Turok 2 came out and we were hooked! I still haven&apos;t beat either game, to this day. Thanks for the video

  I got up at 3 am to play this as early as possible as I could only play on weekends. Ah, technicalities.

  To this day I still reflexively call any instance of explosive arrows; Tek arrows

  I’ll go back and play Turok Dinosaur Hunter once a year since ‘97. That game aged so well and reminds me of summertime in my childhood.

  Turok blew me away back in the day. The arsenal was awesome. That minigun...

  I knew about Turok since before the game, because of the comics.<br><br>That&apos;s why I was so excited about this game, definitely one of the best games of all time.

  The original Turok dinosaur hunter game was one of the first games I got as a child on the N64.

  I found the Turok controls to be really intuitive and fluid. I know a lot of people complained about them but I felt they took maximum advantage of the ergonomics of the N64&apos;s controller and they seemed to translate to your hand-eye coordination better than any other system I could imagine, especially with all the jumping. I must say Goldeneye felt like a step backwards when it came to movement, although you couldn&apos;t jump in that game and so the motion didn&apos;t need to be as dynamic.
