Former Acclaim/Iguana Entertainment staffer Ryan Tracy recently opened up about the Turok games in a new interview, and also discussed his thoughts on Nintendo releasing the N64 games on the Virtual Console.

You can add Tracy to the long list of people who’d like to see them head to the platform.

He said:

“It would be great to see the games available on that platform if there was enough interest. I’m not sure who owns Turok as of now since Acclaim is no longer around.”

Like Tracy noted, Acclaim was shut down several years ago. That does make things complicated. At this point, Disney may own the Turok IP. Touchstone Games published the last Turok game in 2008, but that company is actually a subsidiary of Disney Interactive Studios.
