Unknown arcade titles from Fighter17 - Elevator Action Returns/Elevator Action II

[RSS Bot]

Game: Elevator Action Returns/Elevator Action II

Developer/Publisher: Taito

Year: 1994

Hardware: Taito F3

Note: Part of the Taito Legends II pack (which were just release in the US) for various platforms (PS2 and PC, others might be included).

 

It took Taito over ten years to make a sequel to one of the most popular arcade titles of the 80s. Elevator Action Returns is pretty much the first game but with more action, better graphics (of course since this game was made in 1994), and a wonderful soundtrack from Taito sound team Zuntata.

 

The mission is still the same as the first game: Go inside the red doors and escape from the level alive. While in the first game this was the only mission you have to do, the sequel adds more things to the mix. Not only you go into the red doors, you must kill a lot of enemies in order to complete the stage, or escape from an area alive.

 

People are still paying about $40-$60 for this title on the Sega Saturn while you can download the game and play it perfectly in about five minutes (well the Saturn port has the original Elevator Action as a bonus).

 

While the game is bit on the short side (it should take you at least 30 minutes to beat it), this game should be played by fans of the original game or action fans in general.

 

This game runs on the F3 arcade board so you’ll need a good system to run it (2.0 GHz AMD processor should do the trick).
