Elevator Action Returns is a classic 1994 run-and-gun arcade game developed by Taito. Serving as the action-packed sequel to the 1983 original, the game puts you in control of a three-person special forces team. Your mission is to infiltrate various high-rise buildings and facilities to stop a terrorist organization from planting explosives.
How to Play
Navigate through the multi-level stages using elevators and escalators while battling enemies. To complete a level, you must enter every red door to gather intel or disarm bombs before proceeding to the exit. Blue doors contain helpful items like health pickups and weapon upgrades. For browser play, arcade controls typically use Shift to insert a coin and Enter to start. Use the Arrow Keys to move, and Z and X for your primary attacks and jumping.
Tips
- Shooting overhead light fixtures will darken the hallway, temporarily confusing enemies and allowing you to sneak past or ambush them.
- Be careful with explosives. The blast radius from rocket launchers or destroyed barrels will damage your character if you stand too close.
- Take advantage of character differences. Kart is a balanced fighter, Edie moves quickly and fires rapidly, while Jad is slower but deals heavy damage and can tackle enemies.
