It's definitely the first game I ever played with a quick select weapon wheel. And the first Turok was essentially the first game to have a sort of dual stick control scheme.
@@ABYSSWALKER. eh a lot of titles do have that ability now, and the ones that dont i believe dont have it intentionally. but yea that was a crazy feature for this time.
Man, I was like 7 when I played this. I can't believe I actually finished it! It was a really hard game, and on top of that it was freakin' scary! Great game, great soundtracks, great atmospheres. I wish they will remake all of the 3 Turok games, or just put them in HD that will be so awesome! Thank you Acclaim for all the good memories.
There were 4. The Rage Wars 64 story is kinda like Mortal Kombat in the sense that you have a bunch of warriors who are aliens, demons, and cyborgs battling for ultimate power. Watch the trailer to Turok Rage Wars.
Your mission objetives are as follows: Activate 3 distress beacons Rescue 4 children Activate the warp portals Locate the energy totem an defend it at all costs
as a kid when I played this, the eerie music and her voice making it feel like all will end if you fail always scared me. Definitely felt like alot was at stake
😂Believe in the gospel Jesus Christ for Jesus Christ shed his blood and died for the sins of the world and he was buried and rose again from the dead three days later. For Jesus Christ God almighty and the flesh and if you believe in the gospel you are spiritually reborn into the family of God.
God I loved this game so much back in the day. The opening Oblivion scene has had such a huge impact on me as a gamer that I could still quote it to this day by memory. Going back and watching it again still gives me goosebumps.
For a long time I couldn't understand a lot of what they were saying (I wish this game has subtitles) the Oblivion cutscenes were scary & awesome at the same time
*Let me help you to understand the dialogue starting at **8:30**.* When Turok enters the first Flesh Portal, a disembodied voice calls out to him: *_"See this, human. Powers beyond the comprehension of flesh have been set in motion. The Primagen must not be stopped. The totems must fall. The balance must falter. Chaos must commence. We are the darkness. We are the unseen. We are Oblivion. That which has been set in motion... cannot be stopped. Your deeds, your lives, your very existence falls under the great shadow of Oblivion. Your failure is inevitable."_* The voice mocks Turok and his struggle, bellowing the importance of Primagen's success to its cause. It describes itself and the Flesh Eaters as a whole as Oblivion. It taunts Turok again in the final portal: *_"Your efforts are meaningless. The death is built around you. Through all your efforts the totems will fall. Your victories, your failures, order and chaos, they all fuel the unquenchable fire of Oblivion. Accept the inevitable. It is inevitable."_* It is heard one last time after the credits roll, once more saying, "It is inevitable," revealing that Oblivion is still at hand, setting the stage for Turok 3's story.
Oh I get it, Adon is communicating telepathically! 😐🤣 I also love how she said the name of the weapons you pick up. So much better than just some boring text.
This game was so revolutionary, it really set the bar for FPS single players for me. I got this game for Christmas in 1998 at 15 and absolutely loved it.
omg one of the best N64 games ever! I wished Turok 3 and Evolution were more like this one with a unique eerie world and interesting storyline. But I've always wondered exactly what the Mother Boss was; couldn't tell if she was Primagen's experiment, a spawn of Oblivion, or somewhere in between. Some mysteries that keep Turok 2 interesting yay!
TheScourgeable i know this is a very late response by three years but i assume it's a mother or something that makes the flesh eaters since the designs are the same (one eye, fleshy looking, etc.) kinda like a queen ant and how they make so many eggs and what not but eh i could be wrong
+NakatomiUk Because of memory expansion pak, the game struggles with frame-rate more than it should usually. Only because of it. The expansion pak is a marketing strategy and nothing else. In the majority of cases, when you use it, it slows down the frame-rate more than it should usually. I'm not a troll and it's a fact- and no matter what you heard on the internet - this is the very truth and if you don't believe me, try the high resolution mode in Perfect Dark and tell me that i'm wrong.
I've long dreamed that Retro Studios did a full, proper remake of this game. (When Iguana died, a large portion of that studio went on to found Retro, so they would be perfect for it.) I just beat the remaster tonight on Xbox One though and it's great as well. 20 years later and this masterpiece still holds up.
I didnt know English when I played this as a kid ( arabic). Somehow it made the experience more intense for me but I always understood by trial and error what i should do. I came back 18 years later to learn the story behind it.
I read about The Dinosoid Army's wiki and they have a huge grudge against the human race no wonder they were trying to wipe out all humans in level 1 & level 2 because these creatures are really merciful and they won't show Mercy to anyone and they were created at the Lost land
lol who the hell narrated this game!? You know I played this as a child and threw the years these stories have been in my mind often. still striking fear into my heart like it did back then lol. Haven't seen much better Narration since! They should do another one of these. I loved the story! Anyone who agrees check out this video called "The vanduul are coming". its not bad either. but still turok is better lol.
Looking back, this is impressive for a cartridge game made back in 1998. I always love the Oblivion parts (the official strategy guide called them Flesh Eaters, by the way).
the only way to locate the totems is if you finish all the mission objectives per level. if you don't get them the final portal in the level will bring you back to the beginning. it's a hard as shit game but so damn rewarding when you get it
i was 11 when this game came out, but no joke that oblivion cutscene first time seeing it at 34...... that lil fight boss sequence n the music was just banging they sure don't make games like they used to. i admit the voices are rough by today's standards but i really feel what they're going for n its beautiful.
I couldnt even play the game when i was young because it was too scary for me apparently and also couldnt get pass the first level because something was too hard to understand, recently i did the first level and i think it's something about saving the children that messed me up.
The speechs can be taken in some pshylosophical or mysthical way wich fits well with the ost, river of souls , purify the water , rescue 4 children, defend the energy totem at all cost. Find and destroy the soulgates, destroy the three sisters of despair. I,m not english native i need the speech text , please somebody link it to me plz.
That wasn’t all the cut scenes. What about the warp portal cutscenes where Adon tells Turok about the talisman chambers, or when she meets Turok in one of the false portals explaining she’s not sure what the Oblivion threat is, or each scene where Turok talks to the guardian spirits to gain the talismans after finding the eagle feathers? Or the bad ending where Adon thanks Turok for his valor, but explains that the Primagens mind still exists despite his body being destroyed?
Me having 6 years: Can you buy me the dinosaur game? (I wanted the disney game) Dad: I bought you this 3 that have to do with Dinosaurs (Turok 1,2 and 3) Me: Ah....okay, thanks for the gift *Playing it at least 20 min* Me: Dad can you buy me the memory card?
The only thing I didn't like about this game (although it's not that big of a deal) is that getting the good ending takes WORK, but it's not even canon. The bad ending is.
can someone tell me why people think this is the best turok game? it looks like a good game but where are the dinosaurs? i grew up playing the jak series and turok evolution and i loved it so when i looked at this game i thought was turok based on aliens but then i looked at the first game and it was called turok DINOSAUR hunter. this game looks ok but when i think turok i think grabbing a bow or a gun and kicking some dino ass. and i know they had mutants but they also mixed it with dinosaurs i was awesome. sorry for this little rant but i was disappointed in turok 2
Well, if your criteria for a good turok game is the amount of dinosaurs then sure this game isn't the best. The reason people think this is the best turok game is a bunch of different reasons: 1) massive, beautiful levels 2) wide array of scary, creative enemies 3) innovative, over-the-top weapons 4) More serious and sinister tone than the first 5) great music 6) memorable and rewarding boss fights If you judge the games by this criteria, Turok 2 is the best. I've played all the games for hours except rage wars, and think a big reason why Dinosaur Hunter and Evolution in particular fall behind is because they seem a lot less serious/sinister.
Pfft Turok Evolution only had dinosaurs for 3 chapters and the rest was literally just shooting lizard men. Such a misleading game Turok Evolution was. Turok 2 had the best gameplay, content, challenge, etc Though I'd say Dinosaur Hunter is a close second, while having a less serious and sinister tone, was much more sporadic, mixed in Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Prehistoric creatures in one and actually had dinosaurs throughout the ENTIRE GAME! 2008 is not great as a Turok game but it was still a good general game. Shadow of Oblivion was meh, tried too much to be Half Life and the final boss fucking sucked.
"Cease human! Powers beyond the comprehension of flesh have been set in motion! The Primagen must not be stopped! The totems must fall! The balance must falter! Chaos must commence! We are the darkness! We are the unseen! We are Oblivion! That which has been set in motion cannot be stopped! Your deeds! Your life! Your very existence! Falls under the great shadow of Oblivion! Your failure is inevitable!"
Man that cutscene scared the living fuck out of me as a kid.
That scene had me too bro 😎
It had a Hellraiser vibe to it
“Your very existence falls under the shadow of oblivion!”
Leading right into my personal favorite Turok, Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion.
this game should get an award for starting so many things in gaming history.
It's definitely the first game I ever played with a quick select weapon wheel. And the first Turok was essentially the first game to have a sort of dual stick control scheme.
Yeah it has the most important among awards (own judgement awards 2020)
abit late but don't forget about the ability to mount objects. that still hasn't been introduced to some of the most recent fps titles
@@ABYSSWALKER. eh a lot of titles do have that ability now, and the ones that dont i believe dont have it intentionally. but yea that was a crazy feature for this time.
Exactly bro ♡

All of the Turok's were awesome even 2008 Turok
I could never have beaten the first level when I was 6 I was too creeped out
There were 4. The Rage Wars 64 story is kinda like Mortal Kombat in the sense that you have a bunch of warriors who are aliens, demons, and cyborgs battling for ultimate power. Watch the trailer to Turok Rage Wars.
Your wish came true my friend! Nightdive recently remade the first three games though we’re waiting for a rage wars remake now
Your mission objetives are as follows:
Activate 3 distress beacons
Rescue 4 children
Activate the warp portals
Locate the energy totem an defend it at all costs
Lmao I Am ADON!
I feel like this phrase activates an ancient code in my brain that takes me to an alternate life 😂
@@prix3100 you have no idea how much i rerurn to this video to get me into the portal gates
i made the full captions and been deleted
the river of Souls just fucking Creep me out.
+Da GreatOne (Da Great One) LOL The flesh eater noped me out of there
My favorite level.
Exactly right.
as a kid when I played this, the eerie music and her voice making it feel like all will end if you fail always scared me. Definitely felt like alot was at stake
that first Oblivion cutscene is fucking legendary
and now it's back! :D Remastered
I agree!! So haunting and full of dread.
Followed by epic music and arguably the coolest enemies in the game.
@@barsam2asadly the remaster uses the PC version's audio, where some of the Oblivion voices sound bad compared to the N64.
😂Believe in the gospel Jesus Christ for Jesus Christ shed his blood and died for the sins of the world and he was buried and rose again from the dead three days later. For Jesus Christ God almighty and the flesh and if you believe in the gospel you are spiritually reborn into the family of God.
If you weren't scared as fuck going through the first Flesh Eater portal and the voice of Oblivion kicks in, then you are utterly insane.
This game and Perfect Dark made my childhood.
You sir have good tastes
@@Kadajliger100 I second that :-)
I need to find that game
Them two, along with Goldeneye 007. Still own them three and play to this day.
Blast corps!
Damn, Adon was actually kinda thicc.
Seriously my horny ass use to check her ass and tits out when playing multiplayer
God I loved this game so much back in the day. The opening Oblivion scene has had such a huge impact on me as a gamer that I could still quote it to this day by memory. Going back and watching it again still gives me goosebumps.
Same. That first cut scene has always stuck with me. "Your failure is... inevitable!"
Weee are oblivioooon!
For a long time I couldn't understand a lot of what they were saying (I wish this game has subtitles) the Oblivion cutscenes were scary & awesome at the same time
This is still to this day one of the most badass games ive ever played.
Same.
They just don’t make them like this anymore
*Let me help you to understand the dialogue starting at **8:30**.* When Turok enters the first Flesh Portal, a disembodied voice calls out to him:
*_"See this, human. Powers beyond the comprehension of flesh have been set in motion. The Primagen must not be stopped. The totems must fall. The balance must falter. Chaos must commence. We are the darkness. We are the unseen. We are Oblivion. That which has been set in motion... cannot be stopped. Your deeds, your lives, your very existence falls under the great shadow of Oblivion. Your failure is inevitable."_*
The voice mocks Turok and his struggle, bellowing the importance of Primagen's success to its cause. It describes itself and the Flesh Eaters as a whole as Oblivion.
It taunts Turok again in the final portal:
*_"Your efforts are meaningless. The death is built around you. Through all your efforts the totems will fall. Your victories, your failures, order and chaos, they all fuel the unquenchable fire of Oblivion. Accept the inevitable. It is inevitable."_*
It is heard one last time after the credits roll, once more saying, "It is inevitable," revealing that Oblivion is still at hand, setting the stage for Turok 3's story.
Jason Martinez Yeah, joshua fireseed dies in turok 3.
the oblivion minions were right after all...
@Jason Martinez Whoa, spoiler bro.
Lol, no I've played Turok 3 just messing around.
Thanks for that I kinda knew what they were saying but for a few words, it finally makes sense after all these years and I must say it's kind of deep.
also note that the boss at 11:48 does not actually die but instead flees
Oh I get it, Adon is communicating telepathically! 😐🤣
I also love how she said the name of the weapons you pick up. So much better than just some boring text.
This game was so revolutionary, it really set the bar for FPS single players for me. I got this game for Christmas in 1998 at 15 and absolutely loved it.
Ty for this. Man what happened to games man you can see the dedication the devs put into this game.
This game was infinatly better than the third game in the series
omg one of the best N64 games ever! I wished Turok 3 and Evolution were more like this one with a unique eerie world and interesting storyline. But I've always wondered exactly what the Mother Boss was; couldn't tell if she was Primagen's experiment, a spawn of Oblivion, or somewhere in between.

@@RawwWaffles I might be a little late by two years but that thing always freaked me out
8:30 onwards I shit myself when this cutscene appeared at 4am as a late teen in the late 90's
Same shit happen to me
I remember switching my N64 off straightaway and walking away from the game for months haha
I loved the dialogue from Oblivion when you first are introduced to them. Funny how much of it I remember after all these years!
This game definetly needs a remake. It was hard and challenging. And the soundtrack is so awesome.
the writing and voice acting are outstanding
Even with the N64 Memory Expansion this game struggled for frame rates
+NakatomiUk Because of memory expansion pak, the game struggles with frame-rate more than it should usually. Only because of it. The expansion pak is a marketing strategy and nothing else.

I know what you mean. I’ve seen it first hand with EP compatible games.
The Expansion Pak increases the console's internal memory, not frame rate.
i used to play the hell out of this game game back in the day
definitely needs a remake
Out on steam! Get it now!
well it's more of a remaster but still
I've long dreamed that Retro Studios did a full, proper remake of this game. (When Iguana died, a large portion of that studio went on to found Retro, so they would be perfect for it.) I just beat the remaster tonight on Xbox One though and it's great as well. 20 years later and this masterpiece still holds up.
Turok was the halo of n64
This game went hard
Turok really seemed interested in protecting the world
I didnt know English when I played this as a kid ( arabic). Somehow it made the experience more intense for me but I always understood by trial and error what i should do. I came back 18 years later to learn the story behind it.
And this why Turok from seeds of evil is a badass
@teletubbieamarillo578no it’s not it’s real life. Turok is a fucking badass
I read about The Dinosoid Army's wiki and they have a huge grudge against the human race no wonder they were trying to wipe out all humans in level 1 & level 2 because these creatures are really merciful and they won't show Mercy to anyone and they were created at the Lost land
"A feeling of dread washed over me knowing one day I wouldn't be able to get your D Turok"

its a shame the graphics was not there like it is today to back up her voice and story telling lmao
The person who did the Flesh Eaters was the game's own executive producer (don't remember the name).
The music, the atmosphere. So good. So much nostalgia.
Looking back, this is impressive for a cartridge game made back in 1998. I always love the Oblivion parts (the official strategy guide called them Flesh Eaters, by the way).
BewareOblivionRemasteredEditionIsAtHand
nice
A Turok 3 remaster? I hope so! I beat it back in the day but only once, making it by far my least played of the trilogy.
this was so new back then i was dazzled back in 1997!
1998.
This game is genius because every level is like a different genre
Hive of the Mantids and Primagens Lightship are two of my favorite video game levels, hard as Hell but so dang cool. But screw Lair of the Blind Ones.
@@lordfrostwind3151 The last 3 levels of this game were long and hard as hell!
I played through each and every level and still could not locate the energy totems.
the only way to locate the totems is if you finish all the mission objectives per level. if you don't get them the final portal in the level will bring you back to the beginning. it's a hard as shit game but so damn rewarding when you get it
Me too man, even with using cheat codes.
Good memories.
I remember these levels being long as crap
Yes, they were. But, it makes you appreciate how much effort was done on the cartridge game's development!
Greatest first person shooter favorite past time alot of old memories stay at home from school just to play!
Played it with my father in the past
Andrew〈ST〉 Feels dude. My dad used to play this too.
Same mine and my dad's game
Adon did us dirty not saying more about the sisters of despair
I want a Turok 2 remastered 4K and real version.
It’ll be great
awesome video - bewareoblivionisathand!
The big cheat:-)
I was 7 when I first played this and it was so good to play. I like the first Oblivion Cutscene, but as a kid, it terrified me.
yo no hablo ingles pero se q este es uno d los mejores juegos q pueden existir ... jamas me.canso de jugarlo :3
A mi tambien Chula. Me espanto in chingo pero qeria matar esos enemigos para salvar vidas
i was 11 when this game came out, but no joke that oblivion cutscene first time seeing it at 34...... that lil fight boss sequence n the music was just banging they sure don't make games like they used to. i admit the voices are rough by today's standards but i really feel what they're going for n its beautiful.
10/10 would play again
This brought a smile to my face :') .....such a classic man
I finished the game but I used a cheat code to beat it. never did finish fairly, I would pay good money to see this in HD so I can beat it fairly.
+matthew efremidis There's a remastered version in the makings for PC
Same. This game was entirely too hard for me back in the day without the cheat code lol
I managed to beat the whole game on Hard without cheating, omce. But, it took an ETERNITY (of course, I needed the Controller Pak)!
I couldnt even play the game when i was young because it was too scary for me apparently and also couldnt get pass the first level because something was too hard to understand, recently i did the first level and i think it's something about saving the children that messed me up.
Was 1 of my faves as a kid
fun fact the primagen is the bug boss in the first turok
Is it actually really?
+Cole Sanchez Yeah
Like really?
Really????
Yeah...no.

I would like to see this on the Wii U's N64 Virtual Console.
I loved Adon
love this!
That wasn’t all the cut scenes. What about the warp portal cutscenes where Adon tells Turok about the talisman chambers, or when she meets Turok in one of the false portals explaining she’s not sure what the Oblivion threat is, or each scene where Turok talks to the guardian spirits to gain the talismans after finding the eagle feathers? Or the bad ending where Adon thanks Turok for his valor, but explains that the Primagens mind still exists despite his body being destroyed?
Or where the Primagen talks to Turok
Adon's VA is a treasure
Funny how they expect this one fucking man to go up against armies of 14 foot tall probably 5 ton solid muscle aliens lol.
the classic mix with overly loud music
Remember: locate the energy totems and defend them at all costs, or Adon will have your ass
Definitely a fun game.
mad as fuck this game with scary port holes used to be really frightening wow
Turok: look lady Damm you ask me to do all this who am I superman or someshit
Loved the first one more but i have nothing negative to say about the game. controller sucked though
chills
One of the darkest games ever
Beware, oblivion is at hand
Me having 6 years: Can you buy me the dinosaur game? (I wanted the disney game)
Dad: I bought you this 3 that have to do with Dinosaurs (Turok 1,2 and 3)
Me: Ah....okay, thanks for the gift

Me: Dad can you buy me the memory card?
You sure ask a lot of me lady.
Good Video but you forgett the Intro of the Primagen Fight!
Adon and Nariko from Heavenly Sword give me ASMR.
back in the day we called this grimdark
Great video bro
11:55 and he was never seen again ever
"eheheheehehe," Turok thought.
13:46 Turok looks like Jean Claude Van Damme when younger..
The only thing I didn't like about this game (although it's not that big of a deal) is that getting the good ending takes WORK, but it's not even canon. The bad ending is.
does any of the other turoks have a storyline like this???
Turok 3 is the most story heavy of the trilogy, so yes.
8:28, oblivion scene.

can someone tell me why people think this is the best turok game? it looks like a good game but where are the dinosaurs? i grew up playing the jak series and turok evolution and i loved it so when i looked at this game i thought was turok based on aliens but then i looked at the first game and it was called turok DINOSAUR hunter. this game looks ok but when i think turok i think grabbing a bow or a gun and kicking some dino ass. and i know they had mutants but they also mixed it with dinosaurs i was awesome. sorry for this little rant but i was disappointed in turok 2
Ok i guess
Well, if your criteria for a good turok game is the amount of dinosaurs then sure this game isn't the best. The reason people think this is the best turok game is a bunch of different reasons:
1) massive, beautiful levels
2) wide array of scary, creative enemies
3) innovative, over-the-top weapons
4) More serious and sinister tone than the first
5) great music
6) memorable and rewarding boss fights
If you judge the games by this criteria, Turok 2 is the best. I've played all the games for hours except rage wars, and think a big reason why Dinosaur Hunter and Evolution in particular fall behind is because they seem a lot less serious/sinister.
Don't the Dinosoids count?
Pfft Turok Evolution only had dinosaurs for 3 chapters and the rest was literally just shooting lizard men. Such a misleading game Turok Evolution was.
Turok 2 had the best gameplay, content, challenge, etc
Though I'd say Dinosaur Hunter is a close second, while having a less serious and sinister tone, was much more sporadic, mixed in Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Prehistoric creatures in one and actually had dinosaurs throughout the ENTIRE GAME!
2008 is not great as a Turok game but it was still a good general game.
Shadow of Oblivion was meh, tried too much to be Half Life and the final boss fucking sucked.
This game is badass for it's early days
