Elevator Action - Image 1Some thing's brewing in the ESRB list and it could be an old classic coming back to life. We noticed that there's a game listed in as Elevator Mission by a publisher named UFO and it brings to mind a couple of games.

The first title to come to mind is a 1983 arcade release by Taito called Elevator Action which could have been renamed to go along with its jump for the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console. The Taito game featured a man who seems to be a spy fighting his way through a horde of enemy agents through 30 hostile levels. Spies do missions, so that may have been the rationale for the name change.

Yet another possibility is that this could be a resurrection of an ancient release on the Amiga system called Mission Elevator. There's not a lot of information available on that title, so we'll have to keep you pinned until we find new morsels of enlightenment on the matter.

I played it before at Acrade coin op. It was fun at this time. :)
