Elevator Action EX is that classic arcade-style elevator infiltration game, but now crammed into your Game Boy Color. You play as this slick spy dude sneaking through a high-rise, dodging guards, grabbing secret documents, and yeah—riding a lot of elevators. The controls are simple (just jump, punch, and duck), but the timing gets brutal fast. Those guards don’t mess around.

It’s got that old-school charm with chunky sprites and tight level design. The music’s got this sneaky jazz vibe that somehow works perfectly. First time I played, I got wrecked on floor three because I didn’t realize you could knock out lights to hide in the dark. Pro tip: do that.

If you’re into quick, punishing retro action, this one’s a solid pocket-sized challenge.
