The Turok comic is currently written by Fabian Nicieza,of X-Men and Justice League of America fame, and drawn by Rafael Kayanan, whoalso brought Conan to life.Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for the N64 represents only a chapter of the legend ofTurok, as chronicled in the comic book series. The mantle of Turok is passeddown through the generations in the eldest-born male of the Fireseed family, andeach generation's Turok bears the responsibility of protecting and safeguardingthe barrier between Earth and the Lost Land, populated by a heinous mix ofaliens, bizzare creatures and bionic dinosaurs intent on breaching the barrierand ruling the Earth.Creating the GameBuilding on the foundation of the comic, Acclaim in 1995 began developing acompletely new kind of game to maximize the graphics and technical power of theN64. Acclaim drew on a talented Turok creative team at its Austin, Texas-basedstudio, Iguana Entertainment. There, a top-notch crew of artists, animators,musicians, programmers and weapons experts dove into the world of Turok,transforming the Lost Land and, indeed, Turok himself from the 2-D comic page tothe 3-D world of the N64. The result is a cutting-edge gaming experience thatgoes beyond anything ever imagined in the terms of graphics, weapons, speed andgameplay.You are now Turok -- and your time has come.....Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Technical FactsIt's always a thrill to be among the first to offer a gaming experience thatbreaks new ground.Some of the technical achievements of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter deserve specialmention:* High performance 3D engine runs at 30 frames per second* 256 levels of transparency and an advanced real-time particle system createthe highest level of realism and pyrotechnic intensity ever* Real-time lighting effects for even more realism* Huge 3-D levels with over 5,000,000 square feet and over 300,000 polygons* Over 10,000 frames of 3D character animation* Over 2,000 texture maps create startling diversity and richness* Advance artificial intelligence allows creatures to see, hear, walk, swim,climb and fly* Enemy head tracking keeps you square in their sights* Animation blending eliminates unrealistic motion and heightens the level ofimmersion.For more information on TUROK: DINOSAUR HUNTER visit our web site athttp://www.acclaimnation.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Page 6INTRODUCTIONThe Lost Land.

As Turok's quest continues, more and more advanced pieces of destructivehardware will require new skills to be learned and new strategies to bedeveloped.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Page 10Weapons appear below in order of power, but remember that each weapon hasadvantages and disadvantages depending on what you're hunting...KNIFE - Down and dirty for those times when the heavy artilery is low on ammo.TEK BOW - A sophisticated bow with added strength, this is the first step indistance fighting.STANDARD ARROWS - Low tech but lethal, holding down the trigger longer willcause Turok to draw back the bow and hold. Releasing the trigger after Turok hasdrawn the arrow back completely will result in greater distance and damage.TEK ARROWS - These exploding arrows offer a taste of high-tech death to enemies.PISTOL/PISTOL AMMO - A fairly basic semi-automatic weapon. Look for extra ammoclips.ASSAULT RIFLE - Fires short 3-round bursts -- a handy way to dispatch dinosaurs!Holds many rounds and uses the same ammo as the Pistol.SHOTGUN - Best at short range, this will take down all kinds of critters -especially if you have some explosive shells for it.AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN - A shotgun with no reload time offers plenty of high speedcarnage. This one can use explosive shells, too.GRENADE LAUNCHER - The entry level in mass destruction, each explosion affectsan area around it and can destroy certain pieces of the landscape. Look forextra grenades as you progress.PULSE RIFLE - A rapid fire weapon, this fires super-heated bursts of plasma athigh speed. A favourite of the Longhunter, you can reload with energy cells whenyou deplete its ammo.MINI GUN - Don't let the name fool you -- this is one of the most powerfulweapons you will find. It burns ammo though, so you'll need to reload by the boxfull.ALIEN WEAPON - Pick up discarded alien weapons and start spewing anti-mattercharges. The initial impact does minimal damage, but the ensuing explosion willrock their world! Use energy cells to recharge this one.PARTICLE ACCELERATOR - Fires high-energy particle blasts. This one can breakdown the atomic structure of the enemy, first causing cessation of movement atthe molecular level, and then... never mind, try it and see. Charge it longer byholding down the trigger button for a considerably larger radius of effect. Usesenergy cells to reload. Remember, the longer you charge it, the more energy itwill use!QUAD ROCKET LAUNCHER - Need we say more?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Page 11FUSION CANNON - Slow but unstoppable. Send a rolling ball of nuclear mayhemtheir way, but don't get any closer than you need to! It only holds to shots, soyou'll need to track down more fusion charges as you go.CHRONOSCEPTER - If you can get a hold of the pieces of this item before theCampaigner does, you can assemble them into an apparatus of ultimatedestruction. The Chronoscepter is capable of creating micro-tears in the fabricof space time, thus disrupting matter at a focus point. No one is certain whatwill happen if the Campaigner gets his hands on it and amplifies its powerexponentially. The Chronoscepter would hypothetically work best as a weapon ifused on a relatively stationary target. It cannot be recharged.EQUIPMENTTEK ARMOR - It takes more than a few workouts at the gym to have Abs of Steel --it takes Tek Armor. The kind that adds extra protection that may mean thedifference between life and death! Tek Armor will automatically be discardedwhen it has absorbed too much damage.BACKPACK - This allows Turok to go from class to class without stopping at hislocker. Actually, it allows you to carry more ammunition than you normally could-- stock up today!PICKUPSHEALTH - Health pickups come in 4 grades. The elementry sones restore increasingamounts to Turok's health meter. The more powerful ones can totally restore, oreven add health. If Health is above 100, Full and 25% health can't be collected.MORTAL WOUND - Although Turok is adept at using high-tech weaponry, he is alsodeadly with the weapons of his heritage. If Turok slays an enemy with his knifeor standard arrows, a special 'mortal wound' pickup may emerge. If it does, grabit quickly! This pickup will raise Turok's hit point level by 5 points.SPIRITUAL INVINCIBILITY - This is one pickup you don't want to miss! Once youcollect it, Turok is transformed into pure spiritual energy, and can movebetween one movement and the next. His enemy's movements will appear to slow toa crawl, and to them Turok will appear a blur as he runs amongst them. Theeffect lasts only for a short while, so be quick!LIFE FORCE - Collect these to add up extra Life Force points.
