Elevator Action – JOTD’s latest Arcade to Amiga conversion is looking great in this new beta build!

Here’s another game announcement that’s well worth a mention, as we’ve just found out that the previously teased Arcade to Amiga conversion of the 1980’s Arcade game of Elevator Action by Taito Corp, has been updated with a new beta build by JOTD. The same creator behind other awesome Arcade to Amiga conversions such as Donkey Kong, Galaga, Phoenix and Moon Patrol 500. To coincide with this news, we’ve got some early development footage of the game as well as a beta download below.

Here’s what was said about the game from its first announcement and todays update. ” ATM I’m targeting AGA so I can use wide sprites for the elevators & dual playfield for fast sprite / playfield separation, but a OCS version is also planned. AGA will ensure that the games runs perfectly at 50 FPS. For ECS, it will need more tricks but it will run too. (The intro would run on ECS too, no need for AGA there). The new build of the game is not only much better, even if some gfx/audio things are not completed but n09 did a fine job on the tunes!
