Developed by David Wareing, of Adelaide, Australia, Swoop is an arcade
classic combining pulse-quickening game play with state of the art computer
animation and audio effects. Smooth flowing action, detailed full color
graphics, and custom sound effects all provide for exciting game play. The
only thing missing is the cash box in which to pump your coins.
Since the dawn of time, good people have always fought the iron glove of
oppression. Never before has the fight been so desperate; never before have
the stakes been so high. This time the fight is not over politics,
religion, or territory. For now, the very survival of the human race hangs
in the balance. The Swoopers have come.
The Swoopers - a sinister race of aliens from a distant quadrant of another
galaxy - have targeted earth for destruction. Alien agents have disabled
the Earth's sophisticated defense systems, leaving the home planet
virtually unprotected. The only thing that stands between the hungry
Swooper legions and their goal is you and your trusty George Pal class
fighter ship. Alone, against all odds, you must fight off the invading
horde.
