    You never know, once that machine has been through enough hands, the risk of being of tracked down/called out as the source might get low enough for someone to change his mind. Fingers crossed.

    Yeah I agree with "Your money, do what you want with it", however, if all guys who work with technology, for example, if all of them would follow this philosophy, we would never had access to such amazing tools of today, softwares and technology in general. Our current state of advancement in technology and software especially is thanks to guys who like and love to share technology with others. Anyway, I also hope that someone would like to share the Turok N64 Source Code, because it is trully a treasure, and something epic, it makes part of the evolution of gaming technology in general, as it was one of the most advanced 3D FPS Games on it's time. And I am trully willing to port Half Life to N64 using Turok's Source Code.

    Very cool that there's even more data. Those CD-Rs look really interesting, too :)

    Does anyone know if this ever happened? There's plenty of advertisement of this all around the web, but how much did it sell for in the end?

    I trully apologize to bump such old thread, however no news on Turok N64 Source Code? Has the guy of this Indy Workstation uploaded the source code somewhere? So no chances on getting our hands on this source code?

    The original finder explicitly stated he wouldn't release anything, and afaik none of the auction winners have come forward with anything. The latter might still happen, but how likely that is is anybody's guess.

    Yea here's a video of someone playing through an early build apparently from this source: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/302405544
    I haven't managed to actually get hold of the source/ROM/s yet.

    We've found 3 ROMs so far in the source. One appears to be a very early alpha/test of the game engine. There are no models, and if you view the map, it's just a tiny triangle. Here's a gif of what gameplay looks like:

    We had hardware tests confirm that the gray isn't an emulation error.

    Has anyone had luck compiling this from source? My attempts have all failed.

    Anyone know which playable builds accompanied the source materials, beyond the gray void one? I know a development cart with a Build 33 was sold a couple of years ago.

    Was released via 4chan at some point, very quietly at that.
