Overview
Elevator Action is a platform shooter. The player assumes the role of Agent 17, codename: "Otto", a secret agent. Otto enters a 30-story building at roof level with a goal of exiting at the ground floor, collecting secret documents (500 points per) whose locations are marked by red doors. Along the way, he must use the building's elevator and escalator systems to move from floor to floor and avoid or kill the enemy agents trying to stop him.
After picking up all the documents, Otto can escape to the basement and drive away in a waiting car to end the level (1,000 points times level cleared, up to 10,000). Otto can move left and right, jump, duck, and fire up to three shots at a time from his pistol. While Otto is in an elevator, the player can push up or down to send him to a higher or lower floor. He can jump across an empty shaft as long as the elevator is above him, and can ride on its roof but not control its motion or cross to the other side.
