crack works o.0 also the two player idea on this is pretty cool, no widescrron though Sad

I'd give it a 7 out of 10. It's your classic style arcade game so there isn't a whole lot to it. Just avoid the gun fire, collect the occasional powerups. You have a choice between driving teh ground vehicle or flying the helicopter which also is where 2 player comes in where one operates each on one screen which. Gamepad's are optional. One thing I don't like is the ground to air/air to ground fire as it's a lil bit....hard to aim. Oh..and boss at the end. And for you gfx whores there isn't a whole lot of fancy eye work but the exlposions are decent adn it offers 4x AA.

I was hoping that the gameplay could make up for the luckluster gfx, but in this case, both gfx and gameplay are mediocre

this game really isnt that bad if your bored. at least they give you new enemies in the next levels Razz But if you got other games to play chances are their hella better than this. I'll keep it installed just for wasting time.

Just look at the boxart.

SWIV was a follow up to the game Silkworm, wich in my opinion was far better than SWIV.

Sidescrolling instead of top-down.

So this is not even close to Raptor: Call of the Shadows? Just love that game, weapons are great, bosses are good and music is sweet (and yes, it's a 1994 game xD)

http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2004/12/17/323914.aspx

Maybe I'll have to try it what 12 years have done to the genre and if it's ad, play raptor through yet once again Razz Do try if you haven't played, prolly need some dos emulator. (shareware will get you started and find the full if you get hooked).

Raptor was awesome. I only had the demo which i grabbed out of a bin at a bestbuy in 1994. I played that demo for hundreds of hours. Game was amazing!!!
