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 Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Elevator Action (1983) for Game Boy 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 (1983) 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 GB release dates back to 1983.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Elevator Action (1983), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy titles.
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.
