Primary Objective : Verify existence of the enemy's secret weapons installations and destroy them.
S.W.I.V - Special Weapons Interdiction Vehicles
Secondary Objective - Interdiction mission : the destruction by military force of all enemy units
SWIV - Choose between a helicopter gunship or an Armoured Jeep and
prepare to enter enemy territory as part of the elite assault team of
Special Weapons Interdiction Vehicles.
Battle against enemy helicopters, tanks, submarines, hovercraft,
snowmobiles, mechanised flying fish, giant weapons installations and
much more in this vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. But beware, the
enemy are armed with the latest deadly weaponry, including the lethal
SILKWORM IV homing missile.
I seem to have an issue running this one, the game appears to load no problem but it loads straight into the game and both the helicopter and the Jeep are in play (not sure this is correct, should it be a choice of either or?) or is this just a demo playing before the actual game?
Also, the helicopter is constantly firing and will not move in any direction even after I have defined the keys?
This looks a good shoot ‘em up and am keen to have a play but just can’t seem to get it to actually play.
I'd guess the game has detected a Joystick. Do you have any Joystick Modules loaded?
If you run the game directly from the floppy, it doesn't load JoyMod. If you use Boot Floppy via ADFFS, it will load JoyMod and attempt to support Joysticks. Which method are you using to run the game?
I was a bit nervous about running the game from the icon as the advice tends to be use !boot floppy or risk causing damage……so I ran the icon, defined the keys and was up and running!
Thanks for your help on this, I am slowly getting into putting games onto my A3010 so I may be back with more questions!
Thanks for all the hard work archiving these classics - I can now get this to run with ADFFS 2.80 on my RISC PC with RiscOS 3.7 Arm 610 and 32mb ram, but it runs really fast! I've tried changing screen resolutions before running it in case it is something to do with screen frequency, but it doesn't have any effect. Is there anything I can try to slow it down?
