Introduction
The Lost Land. A world where time has no meaning – and evil knows no bounds. Torn from a world long gone, the time traveling warrior Turok has found himself thrust into a savage land torn by conflict. Anevil overlord known as ”The Campaigner” seeks to shred the fabric of time and rule the universe using an ancient artifact known as ”The Chronoscepter.” The Chronoscepter was shattered thousands of years ago in an effort to keep it from falling into evil hands. The Campaigner has constructed a massive focusing array which he plans to use to magnify and pervert the power of the Chronoscepter in order to shatter the barriers between the ages and rule the universe. Turok has vowed to find the eight pieces of the Chronoscepter spread throughout the Lost Land and put an end to The Campaigner’s evil plot. The Campaigner has amassed a terrifying army to stop him. Turok must face not only ferocious Velociraptors, but vile aliens and other terrifying beasts all bent on scorching him from the face of the Earth. The first rule of survival is know thy enemy, but the second edict, know thyself, assumes greater importance as Turok struggles to understand the fatal forces that have brought him here and what he must do in order to meet the ever escalating threats that lurk wherever he looks To learn more you must enter the world of TUROK: BATTLE OF THE BIONOSAURS.

Swhnnlng: Use the Control Pad to contro1 movement. Underwater, Turok can

WEAPONS & AMMUNITIN
In the world where your struggles take place, a mastery of old-fashioned hand-
to-hand techniques will prove essential You start out with just a knife and
the Tak bow. As Turck’s quest continues, more and more advanced pieces of
destructive hardware will require new skills to be learned and new strategies
to be developed.
Weapons appear below in order of power, but remember that each weapon has
advantages and disadvantages depending on what you’re hunting.
Knife: Down and dirty for those times when the heavy artillery is low on
ammo.
Tak Bow: A sophisticated bow with added strength, this is the first step
in distance fighting.
Standard Arrows: Low tech but lethal, holding down the trigger longer
will cause Turok to draw back the bow and hold. Releasfng the trigger after
Turok has drawn the arrow back completely will result in greater distance and
damage.
Pistol/Pistol Amr,10: A fairly basic semi-automatic weapon. Look for extra
ammo clips.
Assault Rifle: Fires short 3-round bursts – a handy way to dispatch
dinosaurs I Holds many rounds and uses the same ammo as the Pistol.
Shot Gun: Best at short range, this will take down all kinds of critters.
Automatic Shotgun: A shotgun with no reload time offers plenty of high
speed carnage.
Grenade Launcher: The entry level in mass destruction, each explosion
affects an area around it and can destroy certain pieces of the landscape.
Look for extra grenades as you progress.
Pulse Rifle: A rapid fire energy weapon, this fires super-heated bursts
of plasma at high speed. A favorite of the Long hunter, you can reload with
energy cells when you deplete its ammo.
Mini Gun: Don’t let the name fool you — this is one of the most powerful
weapons you will find. It bums ammo though, so you’ll need to reload by the
box full.
Allen Weapon: Pick up discarded alien weapons and start spewing anti-
matter charges .. The initial impact does minimal damage, but the ensuing
explosion will rock their world I Use energy cells to recharge this one ..
Cllsad Rocket Launcher: Need we say more?
Particle Accelerator: Fires high-energy particle blasts. This one can break
down the atomic structure of the enemy, first causing cessation of movement at
the molecular level, and then never mind, try it and see. Charge it longer by
holding down the trigger button for a considerably larger radius of effect
Uses energy cells to reload. Remember, the longer you charge it, the more
energy it will usel
Fusion cannon: Slow but unstoppable. Send a rolling ball of nuclear mayhem
their way, but don’t get any closer than you need tol
Chronoscepter: If you can get a hold of the pieces of this item before
the Campaigner does, you can assemble them into an apparatus of ultimate
destruction. The Chronoscepter is capable of creating micro-tears in the
fabric of space time, thus disrupting matter at a focus point No one is
certain what will happen if the Campaigner gets his hands on it and amplifies
its power exponentially. The Chronoscepter would hypothetically work best as a
weapon if used on a relatively stationary target. It cannot be recharged.
PickUps
tloal Uw: Turok can carry up to 9 health points, depending on the
Difficulty setting. Collecting a pickup increases his health points by 1.
Ufe-Force: Collect these to add up extra Life-Force points. If you can
collect 100 points, Turok is awarded an extra life
Pausing the game
You may pause your game at anytime by pressing the START BUTTON. To resume
play, press the START BUTION again.
Levels
There are eight massive levels for Turok to explore. Terrain features range
from vast jungles to ancient cities to the Lost Land itself. Take time to
thoroughly explore the terrain around you; not all of the landscape will be
obvious.
THE HUB
The first level of the game leads to the Mystical “Hub” Ruins. The Hub Ruins
are a series of gateways, one for each level. From this ancient place, access
to levels 2-8 of the game is granted. (The player must find 3 keys on each
level to “unlock” the gate to the next level.)
KEYS
3 keys are hidden within each level. When you collect one, it appears in the
status panel at the bottom of the screen. Each level also contains one piece
of the Chronoscepter. You will know how many pieces you have collected when
you get the password for that level.
Enemies
Turok must face a terrifying army in his quest to stop The Campaigner. The
further into the Lost Land Turok ventures, the more bizarre his enemies will
become. Evil soldiers, terrifying aliens, and prehistoric dinosaurs will all
do their best to wipe Turok off of the face of the earth. Here are some
fearsome foes Turok will encounter. Be warned I There may be morel
Foot Soldiers: Armored members of The Campaigner’s personal army. An ugly
lot bent on cutting you down. Armed with primitive hand held weapons,
polearms, rifles, or grenades.
Sergeants: More brawn than brains, these huge men are armed with pulse
rifles. They can take a lot more damage than their weaker counterparts.
High Priests: The leaders of the Ancient Warrior clans, these mystical
enemies attack with powerful spells. Able to teleport from place to place at
will, they can prove to be elusive, and deadly quarry.
Raptors: Vile, evil creatures bio-engineered for extra ferocity.
Normal raptors can only attack Turok up close, making them helpless at a
distance. As you progress into the game, who knows what other bizarre shapes
they might take on
Dimetrodons: Built low to the ground, these clumsy brutes are not much of
a threat, but can inflict a mean bite up close I Keep your distance and you
should be safe.
Leapers: Disgusting cave dwellers with a taste for blood. Their diagonal
jumping patterns make them elusive targets in the open. Hatchlings and
immature adults are not very strong, but large males can pack a wallop.
Beetles: They don’t want to hold your hand I Watch out for these
insidious alien insactsl
Cyborg: This armored guardian is impervious to most weapons you’ll need
something explosive to deal with him.
Dragon Fly: You’ll need plenty of firepower to swat this flying menace
Allen Infantry: lnsectoid raiders from a far away galaxy, they fire
powerful photon blasts, and are very good shots. And hey, those packs on their
backs ain’t there for nothing I One of the more deadly enemies in the game.
Killer Plants: Not your ·garden variety” vegetable. They have a nasty
bite, and can fire needle sharp barbs as well.
Attack Robots: Huge, powerful, accurate. Massive tanks on lags capable of
firing machine gun bursts and rockets. If they strike Turok up close with
their massive ax blades, the show’s overl
BOSSES
These are the first and last bosses you’ll encounter. We could tell you more,
but why spoil things?
Longhunter: An evil mercenary possessed by greed, Longhunter is one of
Turok’s sworn enemies. Longhunter has agreed to hunt down Turok for a price.
The Campaigner: The embodiment of evil itself. Once Turok has discovered
The Campaigner’s throne room, there is no escape. The combat is to the death,
and the fate of the universe is in the balance.
Hints
- Be sure to search around the fallen bodies of enemies for weapons. Many weapons have ammo clips of varying amounts which can be found.
- Certain longer duration weapons work better on slow or stationary opponents. Find out which weapons work best in which situations.
- Remember that even though Turok has gotten all the keys from a level, there may be things of value to him there later in the game.
- You may come across areas in the map that you cannot access immediately. Don’t worryl Try returning later on and blasting your way in when you have some explosivesl
