About Elevator Action EX

Elevator Action EX is a Game Boy Color update of the classic arcade-style elevator infiltration game. Published by Altron in 2000, this version was released in Europe with support for English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. It's an action game that builds on the black-and-white Game Boy original, adding color and a few new twists. If you remember the arcade or NES Elevator Action, this is the handheld refresh from the late GBC era. The core objective is simple: navigate a multi-story building by hopping on and off elevators, moving left and right across floors, and collecting secret documents. Enemies patrol the corridors and will shoot at you. You can fight back with a kick or use the elevators to outsmart them. The EX version adds three selectable characters: Mike (balanced), Guy (strong but slow), and Sarah (fast but fragile). Each changes how you approach each floor. The game is divided into stages, and you have to clear each building before moving on. It's a decent pickup for fans of retro vertical-action games or anyone curious about handheld Elevator Action. The character choice adds a slight strategic layer, but the fundamental gameplay remains tight and simple. It's not groundbreaking, but it's a solid arcade port for the GBC with better colors and a bit of variety. If you enjoyed the original or similar games like Ninja Gaiden Shadow, this one's worth a few plays.

How to play Elevator Action EX online

When you start Elevator Action EX, you'll first pick a character from the title screen. Mike is the middle ground, Guy is tough but slow, Sarah is quick but fragile. Your goal in each stage is to reach the rooftop after collecting a certain number of documents scattered across the floors. You move through corridors, use elevators to go up or down, and avoid or kick enemy agents. Shooting isn't part of the original Elevator Action except in some versions; here the B button makes your character kick or attack close-range. The key to success is learning elevator timing. Enemies also use the same elevators, so you might get stuck or ambushed. Pay attention to which doors are open - those are the ones you can enter. Some doors hide documents, others lead to dead ends. You have a limited number of lives, and losing all means game over. There's no continue or password system in this release, so you'll need to finish it in one sitting. If you're new, start with Mike to get a feel for the pacing.
