Description

"Firepower 2000," also known as "Super SWIV" in Europe, is a vertical-scrolling shooter game developed by Sales Curve Interactive and published by Sunsoft. Released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1992, it is a sequel to the 1991 game SWIV. In "Firepower 2000," players can control either a helicopter or a jeep, each equipped with its own distinctive weaponry and abilities, enabling a varied approach to tackling the game’s challenging levels. The helicopter is capable of flying over obstacles and firing rapidly in multiple directions, while the jeep can shoot in eight directions and move across the ground. Players navigate through diverse and visually engaging environments, battling a sequence of enemies and bosses presented in detailed, top-down graphics.

The game is particularly notable for its cooperative gameplay, allowing two players to team up as the helicopter and the jeep, effectively covering ground and air attacks. This attribute of combined forces adds a strategic layer to the game, as players must coordinate their movements and attacks to effectively manage the waves of enemies. The difficulty level increases as players advance, with enemies becoming more aggressive and the game introducing environmental hazards. "Firepower 2000" was praised for its smooth controls and challenging gameplay, making it a favorite among shoot 'em up enthusiasts of its time. It remains remembered for its engaging co-op gameplay and for pushing the graphical capabilities of the SNES.
