SWIV 3D, also known as SWIV 3D Assault, is a 1996 3D remake of the arcade shooter SWIV by Sales Curve Interactive. It’s the last game in the Silkworm/SWIV series and the only one to use a voxel-based 3D engine. Players pilot a helicopter through various landscapes, destroying buildings to complete missions, with the option to use an armored SUV. The game originally hoped to feature Hallucinogen tracks, but royalty clearance failed in time. In 1997, Interplay bought the U.S. publishing rights from Sales Curve with plans for a PlayStation release that never happened. Interplay later released the game in the U.S. as SWIV 3D Assault, mainly adding Glide support. GameSpot rated it 8.6/10, calling it a strong entry in the shooter genre. It was released for Windows and DOS and is a single-player title.
