Elevator Action is a 1985 NES title in which you play as a spy evading and fighting security guards. This game is available to play in both English, and Japanese.

Here’s a full  overview of the title:

It’s thrillingly interesting.
A exciting spy game.

*The game includes both the Japanese and English versions, but all in-game text is in English, as the game was originally designed with English in-game text.

“ELEVATOR ACTION” was released by TAITO in 1985 for an 8-bit home console.

The weapons are a Pistol and a Jump Kick!!
This is an action game in which you control the spy (player) to steal all confidential documents hidden in an organization’s building, and escape in the car prepared underground.
Use the elevator in the building to evade the security guards who come to defeat the spy.

By all means, do your best. Good luck…
The “Console Archives” (CSA) series is designed to bring classic games originally released on home consoles to modern gaming platforms.
In “Console Archives” series, features such as customizable button layouts, rapid-fire settings, multiple save points, and for some titles, a rewind function have been added, to support players in completing these classics.
