Collector interest

Handled by Altron rather than Taito directly, this late port of an arcade staple never left Japan, which accounts for its steep price abroad. The pull comes from the complete absence of any Western release and a modest GBC print run in 2000, when attention was already shifting toward the platform's successor. An import-only proposition for anyone tracking the Elevator Action line across handheld formats.
