==Story==
−
Tests of prototype military airships near Bermuda end in disaster as the airships vanish; in reality, an underground race capture the airships and use their technology to build a new, unstoppable army powered by computer drones — an army that no nation's army can match. And it is up to the player to stop it.
+
A secret underground race in an island near Bermuda is stealing prototype military aircraft. They are transforming them into powerful new war machines piloted by robots and bent on destruction. The military is sending the only vehicles capable enough to take on this army to infiltrate the enemy base.

{{B}} fires a single shot and can be held down for rapidfire. {{A}} cycles between a variety of weapons. {{C}} uses a special weapon that can be collected in levels. Weapons are powered up by collecting more from the same type. Each weapon has seven power levels. From the main menu, hitting {{A}}, {{B}}, or {{C}} allows access to a configuration menu which brings up the choice between playing as a helicopter (which will not be blocked by obstacles) or a jeep (which can turn to aim in any direction but must actually complete the turn and stop firing before the gun sets in the new position).
+
The game is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up. Players can control either a helicopter or a jeep. The helicopter flies over obstacles, but the jeep can fire in any direction. In a single-player game, the player can choose either vehicle. In two-player games, one player controls the helicopter and one player controls the jeep. The vehicle can be changed or a two-player game can be started from the options menu, accessed by pressing {{A}}, {{B}}, or {{C}} from the title screen.
  
−
''Mega SWIV'' features an all new level (level 1, with the desert stage from the original becoming level 2), not seen in any other iterations of the game.
+
Vehicles are moved in any direction using the D-Pad. They fire their main weapon with {{B}}, which can be held for rapid-fire. The helicopter always fires forwards. The jeep has a turret that rotates in the direction that it is moving; the turret locks in place when the player is holding the fire button. Players start with three weapons and can acquire two others in the later levels. Each weapons can be upgraded up to level 7 by collecting its token. Surplus tokens are stored. Weapons are cycled through with {{A}} (with the weapon and level being shown in the bottom of the screen).
 +
 
 +
The vehicles also have special secondary weapons, such as homing missiles, which are limited use. Players do not start with any of these but can acquire them by collecting their tokens in the levels. They are used with {{C}}. Multiple special weapons can be stored in reserve, with the most recently collected weapon being used first.
 +
 
 +
A vehicle is destroyed when it is hit by an enemy, but it respawns (with a brief period of invulnerability) if the player has an extra life remaining. The vehicle's weapons lose a level when the player loses a life, but this can be mitigated if the player has excess tokens stored. The player is awarded an extra life at 50,000 and 100,000 points and then every 100,000 points after that. The game ends if the player runs out of lives. There are no continues.

Mega SWIV is a shoot-'em-up developed by Sales Curve Interactive in 1994 and published by Time Warner Interactive exclusively in Europe for the Sega Mega Drive. It is an extended port of the 1992 Super Nintendo game Super SWIV (also known as Firepower 2000) and the sequel to the home computer game SWIV, from 1991 (itself a spiritual successor to the 1988 Tecmo arcade game, Silkworm). The acronym "SWIV" stands for Special Weapons Interdiction Vehicles.

Story

A secret underground race in an island near Bermuda is stealing prototype military aircraft. They are transforming them into powerful new war machines piloted by robots and bent on destruction. The military is sending the only vehicles capable enough to take on this army to infiltrate the enemy base.

Gameplay

The game is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up. Players can control either a helicopter or a jeep. The helicopter flies over obstacles, but the jeep can fire in any direction. In a single-player game, the player can choose either vehicle. In two-player games, one player controls the helicopter and one player controls the jeep. The vehicle can be changed or a two-player game can be started from the options menu, accessed by pressing A, B, or C from the title screen.

Vehicles are moved in any direction using the D-Pad. They fire their main weapon with B, which can be held for rapid-fire. The helicopter always fires forwards. The jeep has a turret that rotates in the direction that it is moving; the turret locks in place when the player is holding the fire button. Players start with three weapons and can acquire two others in the later levels. Each weapons can be upgraded up to level 7 by collecting its token. Surplus tokens are stored. Weapons are cycled through with A (with the weapon and level being shown in the bottom of the screen).

The vehicles also have special secondary weapons, such as homing missiles, which are limited use. Players do not start with any of these but can acquire them by collecting their tokens in the levels. They are used with C. Multiple special weapons can be stored in reserve, with the most recently collected weapon being used first.

A vehicle is destroyed when it is hit by an enemy, but it respawns (with a brief period of invulnerability) if the player has an extra life remaining. The vehicle's weapons lose a level when the player loses a life, but this can be mitigated if the player has excess tokens stored. The player is awarded an extra life at 50,000 and 100,000 points and then every 100,000 points after that. The game ends if the player runs out of lives. There are no continues.

Versions

It is widely thought that Mega SWIV was rushed to meet a deadline, as the game is not as fully optimised for Mega Drive hardware as seemingly planned.

Stage 3 (Jungle), for example loads a complete but largely unused 16-colour palette into memory, while pieces of scrap metal in the scenery appear to have been given the wrong palette line, causing them to appear dark grey with odd green spots. Assigning the unused palette to this metal causes it to look more natural, with a gradient metallic shading. Many design oversights, such as only a few flying enemies having shadows, also exist.

The Jeep had the ability to jump in the original SNES release, a feature omitted from this version. Instead the jeep can no run over most obstacles that required a jump in the original.

Also noticeable is that enemy behaviours and sizes (for example, the black jets) were not recreated faithfully, causing Mega SWIV to become an easier game.
