Okay, so Turok 3 on Game Boy Color is wild—it’s a first-person shooter crammed onto this tiny greenish screen, and somehow it works. You’re blasting dinosaurs and weird alien things with a bow, a shotgun, even a freaking cerebral bore (yes, that’s a weapon). The controls take a second to get used to—you’re basically strafing and shooting with the D-pad and buttons—but once it clicks, it’s weirdly satisfying.
The levels are these maze-like jungles and caves, and you’re constantly hunting keys or switches while things jump out at you. It’s janky in that classic GBC way, but there’s something charming about how hard it tries to be a console FPS on a handheld. Also, the music slaps—tense little synth tracks that make everything feel way more dramatic than it should.
If you’ve got nostalgia for late-90s handheld weirdness, this one’s a trip. Just don’t expect it to play like modern shooters.
