Turok 3
Turok 3, Shadow of Oblivion, is a first-person shooter developed by Acclaim Studios Austin and published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was released for the Nintendo 64 in the year 2000. Shadow of Oblivion is the third main installment of the Turok series and a sequel to Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. The game received generally favorable reviews from critics. A separate game, also titled Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, which is set in the same fictional universe but follows a different storyline, was released for the Game Boy Color also in 2000.
Before production of the game began, the development team decided to remove the Nintendo 64 Expansion Paks from their development kits to guarantee a smooth frame rate on a standard Nintendo 64. Instead, high-resolution and letterbox settings were developed for owners of Expansion Paks. The team rewrote the graphics engine, resulting in the game having a 30 degree wider field of view and two to four times the draw distance that Turok 2 had. A co-op mode, where two players, one as Danielle and the other as Joseph, would play through the campaign missions together, was originally intended to be included in the game, but was ultimately dropped due to technical difficulties related to Danielle and Joseph's unique abilities!
