SWiV
Game Boy Color · 2001
About this game
SWIV on the Game Boy Color is an adaptation of the 1992 SNES version Super SWIV (aka Firepower 2000 in North America).
It's a vertical scrolling shooter where the player may choose to pilot a chopper or to drive an attack Jeep.

The chopper is not blocked by obstacle, but can only fire straight forward.
Unlike the SNES/Genesis version, Jeep and Chopper have same specs: same speed, same armor, same agility.
Levels are also 'inspired' by the 1992 version but modified (less long, less enemies).
The 2 players mode (one controlling the chopper, the other in the jeep) was also removed.
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks SWiV for Game Boy Color with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding SWiV to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBC release dates back to 2001.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
SWiV has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
