1988 Kixx (UK)
written by Rolf and Bettina (Eurogold)
A colorful version of the classic arcade game Elevator Action, and even though this version is very well written and nicely designed, I think it lacks the simplicity of the original game, where immediately you knew what to do.
Mission Elevator requires a bit more thinking than the original game, where different objects have to be collected in order, nothing too complicated but spoils a bit the arcade part of it, on the other hand it gives it an adventurous quality, so it works both ways. The object examining is rather fun, a lot of things happen that you don't expect, you can gamble for money for instance, or just sit for a minute on a chair!
Also the most effective way of killing the spies is by crouching, otherwise you risk being killing, which in turn gets repetitive.
Overall it's a very enjoyable game, but I still prefer the official game.
