"Main Theme" from Elevator Action on the Nintendo Entertainment System (1983)
Composer: Yoshio Imamura
Album: No Official Release
I have very fond memories of that game. Elevator Action was a game that I frequently borrowed from Dellaños waaaay back in the late '80s and early '90s. It was a simple game that involved starting at the top of a building, stealing some Top Secret documents, then using elevators, stair cases and escalators to make your way down to the parking garage while being chased and shot at by enemies who looked a lot like the player, but with different clothes, and you know they were bad because they wore hats.
What I really like about this music, is that there isn't anything here that blatantly screams secret agent, or anything even remotely related to a Monty Norman Orchestra. But it works, and it works well when combined with the graphics of the day (both from the NES and the Arcade cabinet). There is just something about the melody, albeit a 7.5 second melody that repeats once before entering into a 9 second outro. There is no discernible bass line, there is no drum line. It is just this one tone coupled with the background sound effects as your character shoots and rides their way down to their ruby red sports car in typical 1980s fashion.
