Going Up?

A worker has to cross the four floors of a tower made entirely of open lift shafts. Seven lift cars run up and down their shafts without stopping, each at its own speed. Walk floor 1 from right to left, ride the landing's platform up, walk floor 2 from left to right, and so on; after floor 4 the platform carries you off the roof. The landings are safe, but a car that touches the worker in a shaft knocks him flat and he starts that floor again. Each floor is worth 100 points and the bonus clock, counting down from 1000, is added at the end of a level; if it reaches zero the game ends at once. You have five men, with extras at levels 5, 10 and 15, and the cars speed up every level.

Controls: Use controller 1 or 2. The stick walks the worker left and right. On the title, push up and down to choose and press a button to select.
