Welcome to another FAQ of mine. This one covers the GameBoy game Elevator
Action, basically a port of the classic arcade hit. Much like any 007 rip-off,
you'll play a spy and try to kill enemies to obtain a goal - national security.

Yeah, I don't know much to say about this. But try to enjoy.

Playing the Game
----------------

The game begins with you breaking into the building from the rooftop, going
down to the bottom where the getaway car in the garage is. On the way, you'll
be utilizing elevators, escalators, and your gun (to kill people, of course).

Your enemies will be lying in wait behind the blue doors you find. They will
ambush you; you are to shoot them and kill them, lest the same happen to you!
You can shoot lights in rooms to create blackouts and higher scoring.

The escalator is one way to move around the building. To use one, stand on the
white square next to it and use Up/Down on the D-Pad to go up or down.

Another way to move is via the elevator shafts. You'll need to run and jump
across - for example, if the gap is on your left, hold Left on the D-Pad and
press the A Button when near the gap to hop over it.

And, of course, you may have to utilize red doors. Simply stand on the red
square in front of them to use them. You'll need the files behind them, for
you need all of the files to be able to use the getaway car and finish a level.

To finish a level, all you must do is first collect all of the files behind
the red doors, then go to the bottom of the building, where you'll find the
getaway car in the garage.

As you get shot, crushed by elevators, or fall down elevator shafts, you'll
end up losing lives. The game will be over once you lose all of your lives.
If playing a two-player game, losing one life will make you swap to the other
player.
