Play Elevator Action on GB Online

Elevator Action came to the Game Boy in 1991, published by Taito. It was a solid port of the arcade game, fitting right in with the kind of quick, action-focused titles that did well on the handheld. You didn't need a complicated story; you just needed something you could pick up and play for a few minutes, and this delivered.

You control a spy navigating a tall building, floor by floor. The goal is simple: get to the designated rooms, steal the secret documents inside, and then escape via the getaway car waiting outside. Your main tools are a pistol for shooting enemy agents and the environment itself; you can shoot out ceiling lights to temporarily stun pursuers or use the elevators to crush them. The pacing is relentless, with new enemies appearing constantly, and the difficulty ramps up quickly as you descend. It feels tense and frantic, a race against both the clock and the endless waves of foes.
