Turok Retrospective Part 1: The Dinosaur Hunter
Based on the then-current Valiant Comics reboot of the same name (not the original Western Publishing Comics from the 50s), 1997's Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is our first stop down memory lane. It's also arguably the most influential piece of media in the franchise, having brought the Son of Stone to a larger audience than ever before and made a household name of Turok- at least for a little while in the 90s! This was the one Turok game I always remember being super popular at the local Toys"R"Us. If I didn't have my grubby little mitts on this thing's display case then somebody else sure did, that game was never left alone for long- and with box art like that it isn't hard to see why! My time actually playing Turok: Dinosaur Hunter as a young child was limited to playdates and sleepovers, however, and perhaps more importantly I didn't spend that much time with it before its sequel, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, stole all my attention. I remembered it fondly ...
