Mega SWIV
System(s): Sega Mega Drive
Publisher: Time Warner Interactive
Developer:
Genre: Shoot-'em-Up

















Release Date RRP Code

Mega SWIV is a shoot-'em-up developed by Sales Curve Interactive in 1995 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.

Gameplay

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. 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 tank (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).
