Nanovor

Nanovor was a massively multi-player online card battle video game developed by Smith & Tinker. With a trailblazing multi-media release it quickly rose in popularity and became a cult hit of MMO flash based battlers before being taken offline only a couple years later.

As the Earth terraformed into an oxygen based environment, Nanovor went extinct covering the planet with their corpses becoming what we know as sand, crystal and silicon. In 1961, scientists first pulsed electricity through a silicon chip, awakening the dormant creatures.
