Opening Snide Remarks: I used to love Elevator Action in the arcades. I only
hope that the Gameboy port can live up to the arcade game's legacy. 

Gameplay: Elevator Action is a fairly simple game. You have to find all of 
the floppy disks hidden in the level, then exit the level through the 
basement, while avoiding gunfire and dispatching enemies. You can pick up
power-ups such as shotguns, machine guns, and hand-grenades. The Game Boy
version seems a little tougher than the arcade classic, but it could just 
appear that way because I have gotten worse through the years.

Graphics: The graphics in Elevator Action are decent, but the main character
and his enemies are short and squatty.  The backgrounds are very simple, as
well.

Sound: This game contains textbook Game Boy sounds.  If you have played a 
Game Boy game before, then you have already heard this game before.

Music: The music in Elevator Action is decent. It is textbook Game Boy music.

Play Control: This game controls rather well. The main character can move, 
jump, fire his weapon, and duck.  That's all, but that's all that is needed.
My only gripe is that I wish that your character could jump a little higher.

Final Analysis: Elevator Action is an excellent conversion of an arcade
classic.  This game comes highly recommended.
