Nanotek Warrior was well received by critics, who hailed it as the first strong step into the fifth generation of video game consoles for the shoot 'em up genre. They commented, "We almost tossed our cookies the first time we saw this one." Reception It is in no way intended to be offensive." Electronic Gaming Monthly named it "Worst Print Ad" in their 1998 Video Game Buyer's Guide (beating out even the EagleMax ad which showed a screaming young man drenched in what appeared to be semen).
Answering negative reactions to the ad, Virgin Interactive's vice president of marketing stated, "Rather than opt for the route of glorifying death or exploiting profanity, we chose with NanoTek Warrior to simply utilize an eye-catching (no pun intended) comedic play on the video game cliché of 'blink and you'll miss it'. Print advertisements for NanoTek Warrior featured a graphic image of a person with his eyelids torn off, complete with torn flesh and blood where the lids had been. Tetragon developed their own graphic libraries for the game. The story is set in a future in which the world's nanorobots have gained sentience and are rebelling against humanity. Like many shoot 'em ups, NanoTek Warrior doesn't have any storytelling, aside from the manual of the game. In Boss/Orbit mode, the player orbits around the boss-enemy much like in the Tube-runner mode, and have a one-on-one battle with the boss enemy. Players goal is to get to the end of the tube, where there's a "Mega-boss" of each level he has to fight in order to complete the level. Along the way to the end of the tube, player is able to find and obtain power-ups, such as special weapons and shield health, to help survival to finish, against various enemies and obstacles. The player is able to orbit around the tube, inside and outside.
Most of the game is centered in and around the long tubes. Each level consists of two stages: "Tube-runner mode" and "Boss/Orbit mode". There is a total of eight levels in the game. NanoTek Warrior uses behind the ship perspective. and released by Virgin Interactive in 1997.
NanoTek Warrior is a tube shooter game developed by American studio Tetragon Inc.
