No, there has'nt been a silk worm 2 or 3 but 4 is just
something else!
A Quick Review
--------------
As in SWI you have the jeep and the chopper but the view is now from
above (like coin-op 'Twin cobra'). The games play is very similer to
SWI although the graphics look like something from a recent coin-op
The mag I got this from gave it 95% one of highest marks ever and a
'hits the shops date' of late November. When it'll turn up it the
U.S. I could'nt say but If you know of any good mail order firms that
deal with the U.K. it might be worth giving them a call.

Silkworm 4 is just bullshit talk, the name of the game is SWIV. But sure it is from the same team, and it feel the same: GREAT!! I got a preview of the game (with only helicopter option), and it was at least as great as silkworm, in other words: The feeling was very good, and you just wanted to blast everything in your way, including your little sister...
