Description

"Step back into the 'Golden Age of Arcade Games' with Elevator Action, a revolutionary 1983 game by Taito. In this captivating game, you play as Agent 17, codename 'Otto,' navigating a towering 30-story building teeming with enemy agents. Your mission? Retrieve secret documents hidden inside. Use elevators and escalators to reach them, outsmarting enemies at every turn. With each level, the complexity increases, testing your strategic skills. The game features simple yet charming 2D graphics and an unforgettable musical score by Yoshio Imamura. It was so popular that it led to a sequel, Elevator Action II. Whether you're a fan of old-school platformers or enjoy games like Contra, Elevator Action offers a unique and engaging retro gaming experience.
