Why people always mention turok as a N64 exclusive? turok 1 and 2 were on PC as well, i would choose the PC version always.

Playing The Count on VIC-20... What a weird game! It's the only cartridge game I've ever seen that doesn't boot automatically when the system turns on - instead a command must be entered. Try to guess what it is. START? Nope. LOAD? Wrong again. To boot the game you must type SYS 32592. Obviously.

Oh and it has a save feature too. You can save your game provided you have a tape drive and blank cassette! :lol:

It was an early case of a console port if I remember right. Unless there's mods or configuring you can do it still has that crazy fog and some of the most insane controls ever. Not recommended. lol

I played through part of Turok 2 on PC some years ago, and I have to agree. The fog hurts it, and the controls are horrendous. I managed to reconfigure them a bit, but even then it struggled. I don't recommend it.

How can you mess up a FPS on a PC?

Forced Mouse acceleration or forcing the mouse to register as if it were an analog joystick are both very common ways to do it.

I think Interplay published that.

Nintendo doesn't really "make" PC games - in the past they've allowed other companies to use their IPs.

Ever play the Hudson Mario games? :o
