It's very scary to play Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for the N64 late at
night by yourself in the dark. Wow, it really gets my adrenaline going. I
haven't played in a few days. What really freaked me out was in the ruins
of level 3 (that's as far as I've been, so far) when you turn a corner and
seven foot tall skull face FREAK starts slashing you with his thing.
I will be 20 years old next month. Maybe I should go back to
"Kirby: the pink ballon FREAK".
In all seriousness, I really like the job Acclaim and Iguana have
done on this cart.

Peace,

Heh, wait till you get to level 5. Those screams in the distance... and
anyone that's been there knows about the pur-lins. I about had a heart
attack the first time that happened to me! Oh, and play it in surround
sound with a good stereo if you possibly can! There's nothing like
feeling the ground pound as you hear a raptor run at you from behind.

How about level 5, where you're walking down a dark hallway and a Pur-Lin
comes smashing though the wall. That is scary.

Turok does bugger my eyes up after an hour's or so play. I think that I
forget to blink!

Oh man, you are so right. Those friggin Pur-Lins crashing through the
wall make me JUMP every time! Especially if you are hooked up to a
stereo and have the volume way up. My God!
