Crop Circles & Shoot Em ups...
Swiv was one of the best shooters I had played on the good ‘ol Amiga back in the day. I loved its detailed & varied levels, the numerous enemy waves and the imposing laser beams of the bosses.
However, what I found very noticeable & interesting, were the Crop Circles left behind by an indestructible weird looking ship, as it flew away at the waste-lands in level 2. This ship was completely different to any other you encounter in the game and its Alien-look & orientation is evident, leaving a direct innuendo of the “origins” of the crop-circles on earth.    Interestingly it looked very similar to the actual crop-circles scattered around the world: The following look ideal for shoot em ups... This one in particular looks similar to the one in Swiv:  This looks exactly like the ship sprite from Crisis Zone on the NES!    And doesn’t this remind you of the enemy waves in Project X on the AMIGA?    So it would seem that many Shoot Em Up artists were influenced by the crop-circles and their mysterious sci-fi themes after all! |

I think shoot-em-ups are a form of secret government training for the masses to prepare us for the impending interplanetary war...
...that way we're ready to kick some alien but without the mass-panic that would ensue if 'they' came clean. That's why they look similar: Crop circles ARE to do with alien visitations Games designed to train us modelled on 'ET' WILL have close resemblances. The Last Star Fighter was a documentary you know... ...wibble. |
