Elevator Panic is the last game released for the Epoch Cassette Vision, and offers one of the most advanced gameplay from the Cassette Vision game library.

In fact Elevator Panic is a kind of remix of Monster Mansion, an earlier game for the Cassette Vision, inspired by Donkey Kong.

This time ladders have been replaced by elevators, but the principle remains the same: collect all items and defeat the enemies !

The game re-use the exact same intro scenes from Monster Mansion, with the building and its windows lighted according to the floor level in play, echoing the famous Donkey Kong interlude with its stacked donkeys and iconic slogan "how high can you get ?".
