Imagine completing 12 grades of school, 4 years of college, spy school & then your life ending by someone shooting a light out & it bonking on your head.
The original Elevator Action and Rally-X were two of my favorites back in the day. I feel they share the same kind of pixel action charm that is very characteristic of that decade. Thanks for keeping these classic alive in the 21st century, Pat!
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Hi. Is there any input lag in the new release of Returns? City Connection have become pretty infamous for this. Especially the S-Tribute Cotton pack.
Cool to see this. Elevator Action was such a memorable game from my childhood. I never got very far though. 😅 It might have even been featured on the game show “Starcade”-(that would be a great topic for a video btw).
I absolutely adored Elevator Action as a kid. Don't think I played the arcade version more than a handful of times but loved the NES port to death. For years wanted to check out Elevator Action Returns but never had the chance until I saw it randomly added to the eShop it's all I've imagined and more.
Ah, memories. I played it tons in the 80's. (Arcade) Fun game, catchy tunes and not an unfair game that eats coins. (Looks at Ghost and Goblins for exsample)
Thanks for remaking this video, it's one of my favorite classic games along with Dragon's lair, TMNT, Time Pilot. I enjoyed the information and light hearted humor.
I’m so glad you re-recorded this episode as this is also one of my favorite games from when I was a kid and still is. The added newer info is incredible as well. I had no idea there were so many newer games as well as the handheld differences. I have some “new” games to acquire now. Thanks Pat!
I was just playing this game yesterday on my MiSTer. Nothing quite like shooting the lights out, dropping a couple baddies, and making a run for it. Such a fun little game.
Hello PatmanQC I see you decided to revisit and remake the Documentary History of Elevator Action key provision and keep doing more revisit the History Documentary Video Games Style PatmanQC 👍👍👏
18:22 Elevator Action Returns on Nintendo Switch and XBOX ONE or XBOX SERIES X which I prefer Nintendo Switch and XBOX SERIES X way better then PS4 and XBOX ONE in my opinion however you could still use the XBOX ONE controller for your XBOX SERIES X System which I heard and I didn't notice that PatmanQC it's so Awesome especially Nintendo Switch
Elevator Action is the transitional game between the single screen action game (and Crazy Climber) and the arcade Walk and Gun shooter. These are scrolling games (primarily in the arcade) where the character walks slowly and shoots and maybe gets punchy/kicky. Games like Green Beret, Rolling Thunder, Shinobi, Robocop, or Spartan X. Many of these games allow the character to move quickly vertically in a prescribed fashion (like Rolling Thunder), but these games usually don't have complicated horizontal platforming. I don't know if there's another game before Elevator Action that's a side scroller were you walk, shoot, and duck. The only obvious "Run and Gun" that predates it I can find is the top down "Front Line".
Elevator Action is easily my favorite arcade game next to Mr. Do! Back in '84 we stayed at a motel on Flaglar Beach, Florida and there was an Elevator Action cabinet in our stairwell. I was hooked. My record on MAME (no cheats) is level 11. I also had the Game Boy version in 1998, I had no idea it was created in 1991...
Wow I've been playing Elevator Action for over 30 years now (first tried the NES version in the late 90s) and I did NOT know you could jump kick into them lol. I'm going to have to replay every version again now to see how far I can get knowing this.
For those who are having controller trouble with the Steam version of Elevator Action Returns Right click at Elevator Action -Returns- in Steam Library -> Manage -> Controller layout -> Change Template layout to Gamepad. You might need to make sure your controller is turned on. For some odd reason my controller was defaulting to a weird Keyboard + Mouse emulation and I had to look up the solution in the Steam Forums. Make sure it is set to Gamepad. I use an Xbox 360 wireless gamepad.
For the life of me, I don't know why you don't have more subscribers. Your humorous take on each game series you review is the most comprehensive of ANY channel I've seen. I love it!
That's nice of you to say. I've heard a lot of similar comments So it seems like people do enjoy my content. With that being said my channel just hasn't really taken off. I'm glad you enjoyed my silly sense of humor though. Thanks
There was something about arcades that online vs can't create .. I built a 2player arcade stick recently and its the center of attention in my house. With friends and family having a blast playing sf2 vs . It was magic times for sure !
I remember stumbling upon the game in Disney Quest during my high school senior trip. It being the most memorable part of the trip either speaks to how fun the game is or how weird my priorities are lol.
Was that the name of the huge arcade in the '80s on the first floor of the Contemporary Hotel? I've been trying to research it but couldn't remember what it was called
Great renewed Elevator Action History of video, Patman! Thanks. I didn't know about some of those alternate versions, but I'm a fan of the arcade, NES and the sequel EAR arcade game with more modern sprite graphics and new buildings and enemies. Unlimited credits were a big plus. Thanks!
I was a little boy when I saw that game in a local cinema. They had a couple of games in a small room which also included Exerion. Somehow the game with the Elevators fascinated me the most and stuck with me for some years. Unfortunately, Arcade games were banned vor children blow the age of 16 (Germany) shortly after, so they closed down the section of the cinema. We still had the game in a local outdoor pool, so I could play it from time to time :). Good times
This is easily the best video on Elevator Action! This game was really something new and exciting when it came out! I played it a ton in my local arcade. It's great that the NES got a version that's almost arcade-perfect. It was made by Micronics, who also did a good job in porting Ghosts n Goblins and Twin Cobra to the NES. Most retro youtubers think it's trendy to hate on Micronics, but luckily you know what you're talking about and don't join the crowd! Considering the cartridge size limitations they had to work with, I say they also did a good job in porting 1942 and Tiger Heli. A lot of people hate the "music" in 1942 and it really does suck, but Micronics simply replicated the arcade music for their NES port, so the criticism should be levelled at Capcom, not at Micronics who managed to fit such an advanced game onto a meager 41k cartridge. For Ikari Warriors, Micronics were given the same cartridge size as Commando, which was a substantially more simple game and whose NES port (made by Capcom) was full of flicker anyway. Thanks for the great content, and we're all looking forward to more!
If you pick up 'Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration' compilation (for Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S & Microsoft Windows), it has the arcade version of 'Cloak & Dagger' (same one featured in the movie) that you can play 😎🎮
That is my favorite arcade game. Funny, I never saw it back in its day. But once I got the MAME emulator and gobbled up games from a web page (also to make my own MAME web page later using the roms and making screenshots) in around 1998 I came across Elevator Action. Very addictive. Thanks for reviewing it!
Don't know why this channel popped up in my feeds, but I'm glad it did and that I subscribed. I can't wait to sit and marathon watch some of these videos next weekend.
It's way cool that Elevator Action Returns has recently been released to the masses, as it's one of the best sequels out there, and especially so after such a long break between games. I actually owned it for the Saturn back in the day, and while I never saw it in arcades, and I don't believe many ever even knew about it until now. It's really a great game that stays true to the original, but is also very much a new game all around.
I’ve loved this game since I was a kid in the 80s. I have the arcade version on my Switch and play it all the time. I didn’t realize the sequel had been released on Switch! I’m so excited to play that with my kids.
I loved this game as a kid because my tokens lasted much longer. The pacing and music creates relaxing gameplay, not frenetic like most arcade action titles out at the time. Great video!
Ahh Elevator Action. This game introduced me to the simple thrill of crushing my foes with elevator cars. I still think Otto's Quartermaster was a traitor because that's the only reason I can see for him or her to issue pistol clips that only hold three bullets instead of whatever was standard for the Pistol Otto was issued.
I don't pray, but I hope for the best for you, PatmanQC. I'm watching this video to support you. Get well soon, brother. My thoughts are with you. Your content means a lot to me, and I hope you know how much it means to all of us fans.
My parents went to a wedding in Michigan and at the hotel they had this game. I don't even remember how much I blew of my parent's money! I never bought it, but I rented it. One of my foggy memories from early chiildhood is playing this on Saturday morning and then going to watch some wrestling in my parents' bedroom. Dino Bravo and Don Muraco were wrestling, I believe.
I love this game, I have the NES version and it is one of my favorite NES games of all time. I didn't know this was originally an arcade title but it makes sense.
Those mechanical elevator doors are more of a cheesy gimmick than a game changer in the real world, but it's a really memorable one. There's an arcade here in Michigan that had a unit, along with other obscure entries like the House of the Dead zombie love story. Anyways, kudos on going the extra mile. I started this up, skeptical you'd mention it, and instead got completely schooled on all the versions (Playstation store, LCD, Champ) and a sequel (2020) I didn't even know existed. (I also didn't know the Saturn tribute added new features.) I wish it were possible to give your hard work on this video more than a thumb's up.
I played the arcade version at a teen pool hall, probaly in 85 or 86, and loved it. Got the NES version, the Saturn EA Returns, the original game long unlocked, and US and Japanese Taito compilations with both arcade vames on them. Even got the Game Boy title, which isn't so much a port as it is a new game.
I was just getting ready to type, and ask you didn't you already cover this game, when you talked about it in this video lol. I just want to tell you that you're Queeftastic, and God Bless!
Another great game @patmanqc-historyofarcadega6601. Elevator Action was one of my favorite games to play. I think that we may have run into each other at some point in time. Your other references in other games and this one sounds like we have bowled against each other at Highland Park. I bowled there from 1983-1991 on Saturday mornings
Hello fellow quad citizen :-) it would have to have been in the afternoon for bowling because I could miss my cartoons in the morning. Otherwise, yes I'm sure I would have run into you during that timeframe LOL. It really is a small world
Not the best game, but Elevator Action gives me the most nostalgia out of the classic games. Many Drive-in, swapmeet and Laundromat days when I was a kid and this game was always there. Still fun and the music is an underrated classic! Thanks for the video!
I’ll never forget the music that played when the protagonist got smoked in that game, he used to crumple in upon himself and the music that went with it was akin to watching a blow fly experience it’s death throes on a window sill.
I was waiting for you to mention Evil Otto from Berzerk when you were mentioning the other famous Ottos LOL. Great video. Sadly, I never noticed Elevator Action until maybe 1985 because I was going into my 5th year of Pac-Man fever😂😂
Imagine completing 12 grades of school, 4 years of college, spy school & then your life ending by someone shooting a light out & it bonking on your head.
HA !!!!
Or getting crushed by an elevator
Shaft?😂
Thats life...total chaotic unpredictability
Happens more than you think. 😂
The original Elevator Action and Rally-X were two of my favorites back in the day. I feel they share the same kind of pixel action charm that is very characteristic of that decade. Thanks for keeping these classic alive in the 21st century, Pat!
Elevator Action returns indeed! The ports and sequels section is so detailed in this! Incredible!
That game is pure gold
the music is so iconic. Elevator Action and Centipede music instantly bring me back to my kid days in the arcade.
I agree, love that theme song
The hours I put in Elevator action at Aladdin’s Arcade and a game I just had to have on my old NES. Great episode.
The NES port was a solid one, to be honest.
They had Aladdin’s Castles in some Chicago suburbs including my hometown of Joliet 😄
You have done so many games I can no longer remember which ones you've done anymore! You're a machine
Elevator Action Returns is fantastic. Had no idea it was rereleased a couple months ago.

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 Just kidding. Great video. Thanks for the pro tip on Elevator Action on Steam. I didn't know it was on there. I will give it a look.
You started doing this FIVE years ago? Man, how time flies.
the gameboy advance elevator action is so good it’s crazy to me that they only released in in japan
The black and white gameboy version is so underrated!!
I agree

I haven't seen this in the wild anymore. Not even at any of the Barcades here in NYC, but I have it on my PS4.

One of my top 5 fav's from the 80's.
Heck yes!! Good pick sir
I forgot all about 'Cloak and Dagger' until you showed the clip. LOVED that movie as a kid, but damn was it scary and sad.
I so love that movie as a kid as well.
Same here, now I'm in the mood to watch it

@@jamesnoble3502 Unfortunately not. It was its own building and had two locations in Downtown Disney and Chicago. But good luck with your research!
Never Did go there but it always looked interesting

Thanks a lot. :-) Glad you enjoyed my silly sense of humor
I love the elevator action very much!
So do I, it's a classic
Just picked up a arcade despite never having played this. Sounds awesome!
I haven't played it either, I feel pity on the poor custodian that has to vacuum up the helicopter parts and crushed bodies in the hallway.
@@1984Brandon these things happen, what can I say? It was clearly written in the custodian's contract!

Love playing this game at my local arcade back in Connecticut in the late 80's. Fun and addicting. Rock on Patman!!
nice Cloak and Dagger clip in the intro. that took me back to the 80's as a kid.
