STOP THE RESURRECTION OF A DARK GOD WITH THE POWER OF THE ELEMENTS!
Owners of the SEGA Genesis® during the early 1990s would be no strangers to seeing multiple releases from Renovation - their studios were consistent in producing games with unique takes on genres. One of those studios, Wolf Team, would go on to develop Earnest Evans, an action-adventure title akin to Indiana Jones. Here we are introduced to the protagonist, Earnest, who eventually finds a girl among some ancient ruins in Peru, Annet Myer. This young girl would go on to have entries with El Viento being the first of the series in 1991. With a mixture of platforming, action, and magic, players needed to guide Annet to prevent the return of the Dark Lord Hastur. Be patient and strengthen her magic powers as you battle through eight stages and put an end to the summoning ceremony. For each copy sold, Retro-Bit will make a donation to our friends at the Video Game History Foundation in our mutual efforts for game preservation.

Media Reception
This game not only looks great, it also plays like a gift from the gods. The brilliant animation and statics really encourage you to venture further, even though this is one tough game to crack.
Just like the wind, this game moves fast! Annet is very easy to control, but this is NOT a cart that you’ll breeze through in one sitting.
A tough ‘n’ challenging platform game which doesn’t look particularly hot, but is surprisingly addictive and keeps you playing for ages.
