Sure. That, and several hundred (if not thousand) other arcade cores 8-)

Alpine Ski
Bio Attack
Elevator Action
Front Line / Big Combat
High Way Race
Jungle Hunt
Jungle King / Jungle Boy
Kick Start Wheelie King
Pirate Pete
Sea Fighter Poseidon
Space Cruiser
Space Seeker
The Tin Star
Time Tunnel
Water Ski
Wild Western

Elevator Action and Jungle Hunt / Jungle King

I really like Intrepid. It is somewhat similar to Elevator Action. It has maze sections behind doors where you have to dodge enemies (you can't shoot) and retrieve items you can or have to use. You need a key and code to rob the safe and an umbrella to safely jump off the building and escape. It is also possible to sabotage the elevator (possibly trapping an enemy).

Here's a long play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM_m2G-a_Rg

That looks pretty cool. To me it looks like a cross between Cloak and Dagger and Venture.

Mission Elevator is a pretty good "spiritual sequel", especially on Amstrad CPC.

I can see the similarities. I didn't know those games yet, they look fun.

I've played Mission Elevator on the Amiga.

You must watch the movie "Cloak and Dagger". Still one of my favorite movies. It is a classic and has lots of retro gaming stuff in it. It is available on Peacock for free.

Mission Elevator looks awesome. I have never seen it before. I have homework too now. :)

Elevator Action is a great game! The NES version is very nice too! :)

Cloak and Dagger is another classic one! Thanks @thorr for mentioning the movie as I have never watched it before. I will definitely get it soon as it looks awesome!

I have just played Intrepid and I have found it great too. Thanks @LamerDeluxe for pointing that out.

There are some great games out there! Really :)

Glad to hear you like it. This topic already delivers, thanks @FatSlob71!

Totally unrelated to Elevator Action style games, but really fun and also not well known, I think, is this arcade game:

now that looks good, have to see how similar it is to the cosmic hardware or mr do!

just checked, it's in the Mr Do Castle driver so must be similar to that then.
Did I do something useful?

Elevator Action is a classic and still very much fun too play. I would also love to see it. Elevator Action, Jungle King, Kangaroo and Marble Madness are my most wanted.

That is actually a pretty good list.. Tempest would be fun, of course it was a vector game, it would need to look good too, Space Dual..

Hi, I am new here, just getting to grips with my Mister, I searched the forum for mentions of Mr Do Castle as I would love to see that available in the Arcade Cores and saw this post. Is Castle likely to make an appearance?

Would also be nice to see Rolling Thunder get tackled at some point.
