Is it still worth playing?

Tal'Set, the warrior called Turok, hunts for the pieces of an ancient weapon across a land of dinosaurs, in a 1997 first person shooter for the Nintendo 64 and Windows. An overlord called the Campaigner wants that weapon, the Chronoscepter, and one piece lies in each level. The levels hang off a central hub, and their portals open once you have found enough of the keys hidden in the stages. They are large and mostly jungle, so getting through takes jumping, swimming and climbing as well as shooting, with a map one button away. The fights are against poachers, dinosaurs and demons, with 13 weapons from a knife and a bow to high tech guns, and ammunition dropped by the dead vanishes quickly, so you fight up close. Know before starting that you save only at checkpoints, with limited lives. Searching large levels for keys, with a fight never far away, keeps it worth playing now.
