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 a port of the 1992 SNES game Super SWIV/Firepower 2000 (which did see international release) and the sequel to the original SWIV for home computers.
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.
