SWIV 1991 Storm
Special Weapons Interdiction Vehicle . aka Silk Worm In Vertical.
Choose between a nimble helicopter or the jeep, then blast your way up the screen through endless waves of tanks, choppers, and screen-filling bosses. This Spectrum version is a technical pleasure to play with crisp monochrome sprites and explosions that actually feel weighty. This is a nice, easy play, there's never too much peril and it's clean graphics allows you to see enemy fire easily without surprise. It’s short, but stupidly addictive especially in two-player mode. Check out my full video for a special Easter egg at the end.
