Play Super SWIV Online

Summary

Super SWIV, known as Firepower 2000 in the US, drops you into a frantic top‑down shoot‑em‑up that builds on the 1991 original. You can pilot a nimble helicopter that breezes past obstacles or command a jeep that fires in any direction, giving each vehicle a distinct tactical feel. Along the way, nine weapons litter the battlefield – five that stick with you and four powerful specials that burn bright but fade fast – encouraging a constant scramble for firepower upgrades. Critics seemed to appreciate the chaos; the SNES version earned an 82.40% aggregate on GameRankings, a solid B from Wizard, and a respectable 70% from Super Gamer, while Total! even placed it 72nd on their Top 100 SNES Games list. All of this makes Super SWIV a memorable, if sometimes overlooked, slice of early‑90s arcade action on the Super Nintendo.

Storyline

Super SWIV drops you into a covert conflict that begins on a secret underground race’s island in the Atlantic Ocean. This hidden nation has stolen top‑tier military vehicles and equipment from nations around the world, then cobbled them together into powerful war machines. Major military and intelligence agencies finally detect the threat, but they fear they won’t be able to mount a proper defence. They therefore dispatch the player’s character to infiltrate the enemy base and put an end to the menace.

The mission is a high‑stakes infiltration: sneak past fortified defenses, dismantle the stolen hardware, and destroy the underground race’s war‑making facilities. Success means preventing a global crisis; failure would leave the world vulnerable to an unprecedented assault.
