Earnest Evans (アーネストエバンス) is a 1991 platforming action game developed by Wolf Team for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Mega-CD released in the US and Japan as exclusives for the respective consoles. It is the second in the trilogy following El Viento and followed by Anetto Futatabi — plotwise, however, it comes first in Japan and second in the US for some reason. All the animated cutscenes were made by Madhouse (Mega CD version only).

A European Mega Drive release was planned by Ubisoft[2] but it did not materialise.

Story

Earnest Evans III is on a quest to complete his grandfather's mission of saving the Earth from destruction by hiding three ancient idols with that power from evil hands, in Earnest Evans III's case the bounty hunter Brady Tresidder. Along the way, he meet Annet Myer, his companion through the wilderness, and Sigfried, who knows a lot about the history of the idols.

Gameplay

Gameplay is typical and controls are simple: A attacks, B jumps, C changes weapon. By default you have a long-range whip, but will pick up other weapons later. Pressing Down and Up switches between standing/running, crouching, and crawling.

Each level contains items you must find to open the boss room; after defeating a boss you must flee its chamber and go to a specified point in the level to clear it.
