As far as I know it goes on forever.
yeah. So here's my issue - I was thinking of using it for my A-Z challenge. This was before I knew it had no end. So I'm not really sure when to call it 'beaten.' Dave won't give me permission to end it after clearing the stage and getting the "good ending" (opened 5 red doors, cops showed up) as he said something about the speed of the game "plateauing" around level 10. Although he also said that the world record is a level 9 run, so...

I had been playing Eggerland Mysterday, and it's a quaint game but I'm losing steam at level 39 (out of 105!!!).

Yeah, sorry Elevator Action is just a bad choice for the challenge. Here's some other suggestions, though:

Escape (this looks amazing) - http://www.mobygames.com/game/escape__

Escape from Doomworld - http://www.mobygames.com/game/escape-from-doomworld

I know your super PC can emulate dawg

THANK YOU. Before Eggerland I had attempted 2 other games (titles escape me at the moment), but neither hooked me. I also gave Excitebike a shot but man, that game was way better living in my brain as a 30 year old memory...

Depends on the stick. I had trouble getting any of mine to work. When I did get one to work, Hori 360 joystick, half of the game interfaces still required the ouya touchpad to work.

haha, that was the first game I attempted. After about an hour I gave up. It's pretty cool but super hard and you only get one life. :?
