Development: Developed by Bit Managers and published by Acclaim Entertainment, Turok: Rage Wars marks a departure from Bit Manager's previous Turok game, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, featuring a new engine enabling movement and jumping in eight directions. The music was composed by Alberto Jose González, known for his work on previous Game Boy Color Turok games.
