The Top 10: Elevators In Games

GOONLINE writes: "Yep, you read that title right. It's the little things that make a game great, and there's more insignificant than a lift (or an elevator, of you're one of them…). So, by that flawed logic, which game has the most iconic lifts? We've looked high and low (get it?) for games with memorable metal transport boxes in (there are very few), and complied a list of the best, and possibly only, 10. You need never be without lift-based trivia again, thanks to GOONL!NE."

Elevator Action? Even has "Elevator" in the title.

List fail.

GameOn5964d ago (Edited 5964d ago )

Never even heard of that.

kharma455964d ago

Never heard of it either!

Bit of Wikipedia research shows it to be an 80's arcade game.

pippoppow5964d ago

Used to love Elevator Action. obvious choice. The ol' arcade days by the boardwalk in Long Breach (1980)...good memories.

mastiffchild5964d ago

Funnily enough me and my eight year old son walked into a couple of lively teenagers having their own "elevator action" over the Christmas holidays.Kind of like they got mixed up when someone told them to "get a room" I suppose. Like Xgame chat , imo, it's showing an impatience of youth that I clearly don't grasp in my old age!

Why can't people, like, wait five minutes rather than imposing themselves on my gaming and, now, shopping?

If you filmed that, you'd make some good dollar fast, man...=P

DaTruth5964d ago (Edited 5964d ago )

Elevator Action was the first game I thought of!

Guess some of you weren't born when that game was out. I'm pretty sure it came to the NES though!

A F L

Abso-friggin-lutely

Funny enough, It even had more than one elevator type !!

BTW, Grabbed all my change and Wagged school for this one...

Mirror's Edge immediately came to mind. What about Max Payne 2? You have to clamber on top of an exploded lift.

Havn't played 4 yet. Wonder if it had elevator action.

There's also YouTube

They'll probably end up putting in the 360's arcade space.

On God's green earth would Microsoft put Elevator Action the XBL arcade when you can download MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) and the Elevator Action ROM in about 3 seconds (no joke) to your PC or (god forbid) your Mac for free. In fact with MAME you can play any arcade game you want for free, and it literally takes seconds. I used to do it back in 96 on my Windows 95 machine and even then with a 56k modem and a Pentium it took a matter of minutes to get a ROM downloaded an running.

Godmars2905964d ago (Edited 5964d ago )

Because MS likes cheap/easy money and exploiting gaming history?

And I was talking about the arcade room they're putting up. Not XBLA proper.

Why does your squirrel look like Batman?
