* ShoutOut: ''Dinosaur Hunter'' had a railgun very obviously cribbed from ''Eraser'' and Extraterrestrials similar to the ones in ''Independence Day''. 2 had the Cerebral Bore, referencing The Tall Man's orbs in the ''Phantasm'' series, a disc weapon straight out of ''Xena''. And the Firestorm Cannon, a GatlingGood shout-out to ''{{Predator}}''.

The final game to appear as part of the original story-line was ''Turok: Evolution'' (2002), a prequel game revolving around the early exploits of the first game's protagonist, Tal Set, as he battles the tyrannical [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Slegs]] (a race of Snake/Lizard/Dinosaur people) and their commander, a genetically-engineered T-Rex named Tyrannus. Like its predecessor, ''Evolution'' was poorly received by critics and a [[YourMileageMayVary majority of fans]].

* RedshirtArmy: ''Turok 2'' has the Army of Ericee which, despite having a buttload of [[SentryGun turrets]], [[DeathFromAbove mortars]], and a ''Styracosaurus'' armed with machine guns and artillery, get completely wiped out before you even arrive.

** For its time, ''Seeds of Evil'' was considered pretty bad, though it pales in comparison to the gore in ''Evolution''. The PFML ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Personal Fragmentation Mine Layer]]) could amputate the legs of most enemies, causing them to roll around on the ground in agony until they bled to death (and you could sometimes shoot legs off with your other weapons). You could blow off heads and arms from just about every enemy. Zombies could be blown in half, reduced to an upper torso crawling along and dragging its naked spine. Purr-Linn Warclubs could have holes blown clear through their upper torso (the Magnum, Shotgun and Shredder were best at this), resulting in blood fountaining down both sides of their bodies and a ghastly gurling sound before they keeled over.

** ''Turok II: Seeds of Evil'': Shoot a monster through the chest and its heart will be blown out; still beating, it will crawl away while its former body collapses. Blow the head off a Raptor or Raptoid and it does a "headless chicken" death spasm where it will continue to attack you before realizing it no longer has a head, then falls down dead. During this spasm it will no longer make noise but will continue to spill blood all over the floor. Shoot a Cerebral Bore into something with a brain in it's head, and pinkish-green goo will be spit out of its liquefied brain before blood jets out; and finally its head EXPLODES. Note that the boring noise the weapon makes while drilling into it's victim is chill inducing, as is the way the victim will writhe in pain. Though it is hilarious to see enemies try to run from the heat seaking weapon. Please note that it will NOT work on the undead. Hence the 'something with a brain comment'. Insectoids can be roasted to nothing but exoskeleton before its rotting remains spill out of its abdomen. Use explosive shotgun shells on the dinosoids and you can literally blow them in half, exposing their spines and a few surviving ribs. Explosive shotgun shells, well, the regular ones can do it too, but with less occurance mind you, when used on the Purr-Linn that aren't wearing chest armor, can literally blow a hole in them so large you can see through it, count surviving ribs, and supposedly even shoot through it at enemies behind them. Granted Purr-Linns killed in this manner only stay up for a short time so it's not a wise tactic to try, since if you miss when shooting them they can melee you to death, very fast.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Nuke Weapon did ''nothing'' to the final boss, though firing it at the ceiling took care of his mooks. Also the Scorpion Launcher's bugged damage meaning it sometimes did nothing but knock an enemy into the air without damaging them.

''Turok'' is a video game franchise based on the ''{{Turok}}'' comic book series published by ValiantComics.

The third canonical entry to the franchise was ''Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion'' (2000), which took a more story oriented path than its prequels, and more-or-less picked up where ''Seeds of Evil'' left off. TheHero of the previous game dies, leaving his two remaining family members - younger brother [[MouthyKid Joseph]] and older sister [[DarkActionGirl Danielle]] - to carry on the family tradition of blowing up dinosaurs with [[{{BFG}} big guns]]... And to also stop the CosmicHorror known as Oblivion from ''[[OmnicidalManiac devouring all life in the universe]]''. The game was sadly mired by programming errors and annoying bugs, as well as poor voice acting. A common fan criticism is that it didn't have the ''[[InNameOnly feel]]'' of a ''{{Turok}}'' game.
