Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (Jul 21, 1997 prototype)

A prototype of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for the PC.
==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."

 Release Notes
 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!
