Master Phruby Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I was watching this old news series on video games and they mentioned that Tatio was making a game called Toasters and Chainsaws. Does anyone know what this is or any history on the game? Prototypes? Someone said it was renamed Elevator Action later. https://youtu.be/P3sqUrX83Yg?t=309 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaddog Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I've seen the video but haven't seen or heard that game anywhere else. Not even MAME has it listed, so I guess they scrapped the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Neat.. I thought all of the Taito stuff was from Japan and never realized they did any development in the US. Kind of funny they showed a clip of Wild Western there.. but if that's the time frame, that's pretty early on and there's probably not a huge amount of Taito games from that period. I'm thinking things like Front Line and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreeB Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I believe it was renamed Elevator Action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall ever hearing about Toasters and Chainsaws ever having a relation to Elevator Action. The story I've heard about this game was that it was never even considered for development and the marquee was done by Taito America as either a test or maybe an in-joke.
