Play Elevator Action (USA, Europe) Online

Elevator Action for the Game Boy came out in 1991, a portable version of Taito's arcade game. It was one of those straightforward action titles you'd pop in during the early handheld days, built around a clear, repeatable concept rather than a deep story or complex mechanics.

You control a spy who must retrieve secret documents from a multi-story building. Moving screen by screen, you run through corridors, duck into doors to steal files, and ride elevators to access new floors. Key mechanics include shooting enemy agents with a limited pistol, avoiding searchlights that alert more guards, and using elevator shafts to escape tight situations. The pacing is tense; one wrong move often means getting swarmed. It feels like a careful, pattern-based dance where every successful floor cleared brings a real sense of relief.
