Elevator Action Returns, published by Taito in 1994, picks up the premise of the original 1983 Elevator Action: a secret agent must descend through a building full of enemies, recovering secret documents and using the elevators both to move around and to crush rivals. The sequel adds more levels, playable characters, and a much more polished visual presentation. It's one of the best late sequels in Taito's catalog: it preserves the ingenuity of the original idea -the elevator as a weapon- and enriches it without losing the identity that made the first game memorable.
