About this game
You are Agent 17 (codename: "Otto").
Your mission is to secure all top secret documents from a security building and escape in the getaway car, located in the basement of the building.

Enemy spies are scattered throughout the 30-floor building and they have only one mission: execute Agent 17 at all costs.
There are several ways in which Agent 17 can kill them: Shooting them with his gun.
Kicking them by jumping onto them.
Shooting a light on the ceiling while in an elevator, dropping the light onto one of them.
Crushing them with an elevator.
Whenever a light has been dropped, the hallways will be dark for a short period of time, making the enemy spies harder to see.
The same holds true for hallways that are already dark.
While Otto is in an elevator, he will have complete control of it by moving up or down.
Agent 17 can still get killed if he's already in an elevator if a bullet's trajectory is aimed at it.
When Otto is not in an elevator, it will move from floor to floor automatically, even when enemy spies are in it.
Otto is able to leap over the elevator gaps, but he must be as close to the edge as possible without falling off in order to make the jump safely.
If there is an elevator cable in the way, however, it will block him, causing him to fall.
Just because the game is called Elevator Action doesn't mean that elevators are the only means of travel.
There are also escalators which you can ride up or down, useful if you want to avoid gunfire and don't have time to jump.
Otto must go into the rooms with red doors to collect the top secret documents.
If he tries to get to his car without getting all the documents, he cannot escape and must go back and collect the remaining documents.
Once he has all the documents and drives away, he then proceeds to the next building.
If Otto takes too much time to collect the documents, the alarm will go off, and he will have trouble controlling the elevators, which will take time to react.
Bad guys will be especially aggressi
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Elevator action for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Elevator action to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 1983.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Elevator action has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.

Is Elevator action rare?
Elevator action has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.
What's the difference between loose, CIB and sealed for Elevator action?
