Notes

Back in October 4th of 1997, scene group "Class" released a build of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter to the public. This build was compiled on August 12, 1997.

  • This is build is older than the retail release by 92 days.
  • Like the final game, this build can not be ran without a disc drive installed to the computer.
  • Unlike the final game, it will not tell you that you need a disc drive but will rather ask you to verify that no other application is using the disc drive.
  • There are files dating around the time of the scene release. It is unknown if these are due to modifications from the scene group, hiccups with the install, or if Iguana, Acclaim, and/or Sculptured Software were developing those files without rebuilding the game.
  • The button "Start Turok" on the splash does not work. You have to start the game via the File menu's "Start Turok" option.
  • 4 files detect a CRC fault in the original scene release when extracting with 7Zip, but do not error with WinRAR. "TUROKSND.11K" "TUROKSND.22K" "CARTDATA.DAT" "TEXTURES.DAT"

║ The recent  RAZOR.NFO  files  have been  full  of propoganda  and  twisted ║
║ explanations  of events, all for the sole  purpose of trying to make CLASS ║
║ look  "bad" and make  RAZOR look "good".  RAZORs  story  changes about  as ║
║ often as  CLASS releases.  4 Months  ago they  were  denouncing  the  SPA, ║
║ while  today they  quote the  rules  the SPA set  up.  RAZOR wants you  to ║
║ believe CLASS  purposely released Postal in  the condition it was in, just ║
║ to laugh  at the end user when they  were unable to  play it.  RAZOR  also ║
║ made  it out as if CLASS  had no intention  of putting out a  fix, when in ║
║ fact a fix  for the  game had  been made, and  was still  being tested  to ║
║ prevent  any future fixes.  RAZOR  said CLASS took  too long to put  out a ║
║ fix (24 hours), yet  it took RAZOR  72 hours to  put  out a  fix  for  Red ║
║ Alert: Aftermath.                                                          ║
║                                                                            ║
║ RAZOR is  just feeding  you lies  everytime  you read  one of  their  .NFO ║
║ files.  The most  recent  lie is when  RAZOR stated  they would no  longer ║
║ "rag" in  their .NFO  files, which  lasted  about  1  release, or  1  week ║
║ depending on  how you look  at it.  RAZOR  also claims all  CLASS puts out ║
║ are sub par games  that do not work.  This could not be  further from  the ║
║ truth  and the  following  list  has been  compiled to  prove  just  that. ║
║ CLASS knows  this will not quiet the  mouths at RAZOR, but will  hopefully ║
║ remind the end user what has gone on in the games  scene recently  and who ║
║ has been bringing you the BEST PC games.                                   ║

║ Numbers  do not  lie, RAZOR  however  does.  If you  were to  average  the ║
║ ratings from TRG of games released by both groups in August and September, ║
║ CLASS would have 72%  and RAZOR would have 75%  This  does no justice  for ║
║ the  claim RAZOR  makes about  CLASS releases  being  below par.  In fact, ║
║ CLASS won the "Game of the Month" in both months, and received the HIGHEST ║
║ rating ever  given by TRG (Total Annihilation [97%]) while  RAZOR received ║
║ the lowest rating ever (Man of War [25%]).                                 ║
║                                                                            ║
║ There are the facts, which is the complete opposite of what RAZOR preaches ║
║ to  you in  their .NFOs.  Upset?  Betrayed?  Just  plain  pissed off?  Let ║
║ them know how you feel about this via E-Mail ([email protected])  He ║

║  Due to the overwhelming amount of feedback we  got about artists, we are  ║
║  going  to try  this  again.  First,  we are looking  for people  who can  ║
║  supply HARDWARE to our group.  Most  importantly 3DFX Cards, MMX  Chips,  ║
║  and Hard Drives.  If you think you are able to help out, contact us ASAP  ║
║  to be rewarded.  Second, we are looking for DEMO's (4k, 64k, even 4MB if  ║
║  they are good enough)  with a CLASS theme.  The DEMO Scene and our Scene  ║
║  used to be tightly knit.  Today, you are lucky if anyone  knows what the  ║
║  DEMO  Scene is.  We would like to  change that, and give the  DEMO Scene  ║
║  some much needed exposure, especially here  in the USA.  Lastly, we just  ║
║  wanted to thank everyone for all  the positive feedback we have received  ║
║  over the past few weeks.  It's nice to know our work is appreciated.  So  ║
