Nice looking horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up with some very nice big background animation. Features brilliant music. Gameplay is pretty good as well. Beware though, DNA Warrior is not just a shoot 'em up. You need to work out which exits to enter each zone.

Mediocre shooter, looks and plays a bit like a poor man's Salamander IMO. Not the worst shooter out there but there are hundreds of much better ones on the C64.

5/10

A good mixture of action, speed and playability, with a good music. Not particularly detailed backgrounds and originality lacks something.. But interesting. This shooter was pretty popular, a nice variation of R-Type, at his time.

That was a great shooter, but I never managed to finish it... I got stuck at some point when I couldn't find any more enemies and no way out... Still great graphics and sound!

Thanks for the comments guys. We made the game in not much over a month from start to finish and it BOMBED!
It was the first game ever to receive a 3 'tombstone' rating in a magazine. Unjustified... The music at least was (and still is) some of the best chipmusic I've ever heard. Worth buying the game for.

Cool little shooter, with a slight collect-'em-up element, plus multi-directional scrolling - all wrapped up in a "Fantastic Voyage" theme!

A nice shoot-m-up, fair (but not easy) to play, some fine graphics and very good music... Just download it and play till u drop!
