El Viento is a 1991 platform sidescroller made by Wolf Team for the Sega Genesis. While not a groundbreaking game by any means, El Viento is full of fun and fast-paced action.The game is set in the USA, at the end of the Twenties, and features unexpected references to the Cthulhu Mythos: Annet Myer must stop the combined efforts of The Mafia and some guy named Henry, who are trying to perform dark rituals on top of the Empire State Building in order to summon the elder god Hastur. She is armed with a set of bladed boomerangs and a small selection of magic spells, which she has to charge. Among the many goons, creatures and environment hazards, Annet will also have to fight Restiana, a distant relative of hers and one of Henry's misguided followers.The game retroactively became the second chapter of the Earnest Evans trilogy, even though it is not an Earnest Evans game (almost) at all, since the player controls young sorceress Annet and Evans just appears in some cutscenes. | |

| El Viento (Video Game) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Vincente Demarco, replacing Al Capone. Ironically, Capone doesn't even resemble the real Capone in the first place. | |

| El Viento (Video Game) / int_16178c64 | comment |
Gratuitous Spanish: The title: it refers to a tornado about to strike New York which is actually the result of Henry and the Mafia's rituals, but it doesn't affect the gameplay in any way. | |

| El Viento (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Many. For example, while the game is set in 1928, construction for the Empire State Building didn't even begin until 1930. | |

Lovecraft Lite: Hastur is a confirmed Lovecraft demon and other such creatures of his appear as enemies but the otherwise mortal Annet is able to defeat all of them fairly handily. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| El Viento (Video Game) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: The ending has Zigfried deciding to let "them" be happy with themselves for a while, remarking that the world will fall into chaos and wars again soon, and that he won't let Hastur destroy the "beautiful plan" he's got ready. This would later be followed up in Annet Futatabi. | |

Family-Unfriendly Violence: The ending has a nice shot of Restiana's mutilated corpse once the final boss Hastur has been beaten. Her shredded remains even briefly spurt blood. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: This game is referred to as the second chapter of the Earnest Evans trilogy, but Evans himself appears only during some cutscenes and not in the proper gameplay. Annet, vice versa, appeared only in the cutscenes of the first EE game. | |

The Faceless: Most of the human characters, up to Annet, during the gameplay seem to be an instance of this, because of the way the sprites are drawn. Creepy... | |

| El Viento (Video Game) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name With An S: How many "n"'s and "t"'s are in Annet's name? And is there the optional "e" at the end? Granted, this game always spells it as "Annet", but the Japanese version can call her "Anet" or "Annette" (the latter is the spelling in the Japanese instruction manual). | |

Dub Name Change: El Viento and Earnest Evans feature Al Capone as one of the principal antagonists...but only in the Japanese version. In the US El Viento he is renamed Vincente DeMarco and in the US Mega Drive port of Earnest Evans he is renamed Brady Tressider in the manual. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| El Viento (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: The first boss can be tricky, since you have very little room to maneuver Annet and to avoid the various projectiles it fires, and it's also a fight in three phases. It is harder than later bosses, who don't put up much of a fight. | |
