Cheat code (SWIV)

JohnnyWalker · 26 June 2005, 02:48

This is a teeny tiny update, but in SWIV, if you shoot a power-up icon exactly 50 times (no more, no less) then it will turn into a star and if you collect this star you'll get a mega power-up.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the cheat code is: NCC-1701 (not NCC-1701N) - which is of course the serial number of the Starship Enterprise. Also note that the names on the scoreboard vary through characters of different sci-fi movies (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc).

SWIV was coded by the same chaps who converted Silkworm from the arcades... SWIV has very similar gameplay (helicopter and a jeep taking on the world) which led to some people believing that SWIV stood for "Silkworm IV" (in fact it was listed as such on MobyGames until I forced them to look at the screenshots from the title screen!

It has two meanings:

Special Weapons Interdiction Vehicles
and
Silkworm IV (a homing missile)

See the back of the box scan in HOL.

The cheat published in all the magazines was NCC-1701 but that doesn't work - it requires an extra character (other than P which unpauses) at the end! Hence why it says 100% verified.

I'll add that 8 way fire cheat to the cheat soon...
