Turok: Battle of the Bionosaurs
Game Boy · 1997
About this game
Turok is a single-player first-person shooter that remasters the 1997 game Turok: Dinosaur Hunter with updated visuals, revised mechanics, and modern platform support.
The story follows Tal’Set, a Native American warrior known as the Turok, who enters the Lost Land, a world where dinosaurs, alien creatures, and hostile tribes coexist.

Guided by fragments of a mystical chronoscepter, Tal’Set must battle through jungles, temples, and futuristic outposts to prevent the Campaigner, a warlord bent on conquering both the Lost Land and Earth, from assembling the ancient weapon.
The player’s objective is to explore levels, collect keys that unlock new stages, and ultimately confront the Campaigner in his fortress.
Core gameplay centers on fast-paced shooting, exploration, and platforming.
Each level is sprawling and nonlinear, filled with hidden areas, vertical climbs, and underwater passages.
The player must locate a set number of keys in each stage, which serve as progress gates to later areas.
Combat pits the Turok against enemies ranging from raptors, insects, and demons to heavily armed soldiers and cyborgs, each requiring different tactics.
A large arsenal of weapons expands as the game progresses, starting with knives and bows and escalating to pistols, shotguns, plasma rifles, and explosive launchers.
Many weapons offer alternate uses, such as the Tek Bow’s explosive arrows or the Fusion Cannon’s devastating area-of-effect blast.
Ammunition and health items are scattered throughout the environments, while power-ups like invulnerability or spiritual invincibility grant temporary advantages.
This remastered release refines the original mechanics.
It also adds technical improvements such as widescreen support, higher resolutions, enhanced textures, and modern visual effects.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Turok: Battle of the Bionosaurs for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Turok: Battle of the Bionosaurs to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1997.
