| Remarks | SWIV is not an official sequel, as noted by ex-Sales Curve producer Dan Marchant: "SWIV wasn't really a sequel to Silkworm, but it was certainly inspired by it and several other shoot-'em-ups that we had played and loved." |
| Easter Eggs | Keep pressing keys S and W while program is loading, then press ENTER to hear a speech sample from movie "Aliens". The Aliens logo will also appear in the high score table. |
