Notes

Back in August 19th of 1997, scene group "3DfxWarez" released a build of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter to the public. This build was compiled on July 21, 1997. The original warez release has not been found, but two repacks of it have been found.

  • This is build is older than the retail release by 114 days.
  • Build originates from 3DFX, likely as a build meant to improve driver support.
  • This build does not require a disc drive to be installed on your PC.
  • Unlike the final game, this build boots straight into the game.
  • Lacks a copyright logo for Sculptured Software Inc.
  • The Load Game Menu still refers to the N64's "Controller Pak," whereas the final game calls it "Disk Access."

                           TUROK: THE DINOSAUR HUNTER
     
                         Private demo version issued to:
                                3DFX Interactive


       #3DFXWAREZ brings you a tasty treat. It's not the full release but
       this is a fully working PRIVATE DEMO that hasn't been officially 
       released yet. Anyhow, the hell with that cuz here it is for you to
       try out. It runs under D3D at this point and is very smooth with a
       3DFX card. 
       

                              Installation Notes

       Only thing you need to do is extract with path (pkunzip -d) to any
       folder and run the turok.exe file. The game does however require
       DirectX v5 and will not run on DirectX v3 (tested). Check out the
       readme.txt for info on switches to add to enable such things as the
       mouse. Enjoy!
