iiRcade Takes Gaming To the New Level with ELEVATOR ACTION Series

CHICAGO, Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- iiRcade Inc., a premium home arcade cabinet that allows gamers of all ages to play their favorite retro and modern games in arcade style at home, is pleased to announce that the ELEVATOR ACTION Series, officially licensed by TAITO, is coming to the iiRcade Platform.

Both ELEVATOR ACTION and ELEVATOR ACTION RETURNS will soon be available in the iiRcade Game Store.

ELEVATOR ACTION is a platform-shooter game released in arcades by TAITO in 1983. The player assumes the role of Agent 17, a spy infiltrating a 30-story building filled with elevators and enemy agents who emerge from closed doors. The goal is to collect secret documents from specially marked rooms, then escape the building.

"Based on its immense popularity, we're confident ELEVATOR ACTION will be a hit with our iiRcade family," said Jong Shin, founder & CEO of iiRcade.

The sequel, ELEVATOR ACTION RETURNS, was released in the arcades in 1994, this time featuring a much more gritty and realistic setting. RETURNS retains the elevator-based feature from the original, but expands the gameplay system and replaces the spy motif with a new scenario involving a paramilitary team fighting against a terrorist group.

iiRcade is a home console in an arcade format, and just as you would on a traditional home console, officially licensed modern and retro games can be purchased and added through the iiRcade Game Store with new titles continuously being added each week.

iiRcade features a 19-inch display, 100-watts of powerful stereo audio, authentic arcade controllers and a premium wood cabinet.

iiRcade is available in seven versions. iiRcade Classic Edition, Space Ace Edition and Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure Edition come with 64-GB storage memory and iiRcade's premium classic joysticks, while four special editions include upgraded 128-GB storage memory and original Sanwa joysticks. The special editions include Mutant Football League Edition, RetroMania Wrestling Edition, Dragon's Lair Edition and Black Edition, which enables users to design their own cabinet graphics and comes with officially licensed Double Dragon artwork that can be put onto the cabinet as a free gift.

Every iiRcade home arcade cabinet comes pre-loaded with 11 games and the ability to add hundreds more.

A full list of games currently available and targeted for release on iiRcade Store can be found here.
