Elevator Action Returns S-Tribute launches for consoles and Steam
City Connection's "S-Tribute×TAITO" project lines ports classic Sega Saturn games by Taito to contemporary gaming platforms, utilizing the Zebra Engine for accurate emulation.

Elevator Action Returns S-Tribute is available for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows through Steam. Both single-player and two-player modes allow you to control sprinter Kart Bradfield, sharpshooter Edie Burret, or bodybuilder Jad the Taff.

Clearing the game will unlock the original single-player Elevator Action. Other additional features include improved controls, a Rewind option, a slowdown mode toggle, quick save and load, unlimited credits, stage select, and a nostalgic CRT monitor display filter.


Elevator Action Returns challenges players to infiltrate a terrorist occupied tower to secure secret data, and defuse bombs at public settings, including an airport and a mall. The run-and-gun arcade game debuted in 1995, ported to the Sega Saturn console by Bing on February 14th, 1997.

Zuntata's twenty-track soundtrack is composed by Yasuhisa Watanabe (Yack), available for streaming on Amazon Music Unlimited, Spotify, and YouTube Music. "Red After Image" appears on the 2012 retrospective album "Cozmo: Zuntata 25th Anniversary."


From the product page:
Elevator Action Returns was originally released as a 2D side-scrolling shooter game by Taito in 1995. This game is a reproduction of the home console version released by Bing in 1997. Select one of three special forces members—Kart Bradfield, Edie Burret, or Jad the Taff—then start the game. Grab data from all the red doors, then escape the stage. When every stage has been cleared, players will also be able to play the first game in the series, Elevator Action (single player only).
