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 first in the trilogy followed by El Viento and Anetto Futatabi — however it was released after El Viento, so this may actually be a port; investigation is needed (TODO).
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, you meet Annet Myer, your companion through the wilderness, and Sigfried, who knows a lot about the history of the idols.
Gameplay
Gameplay is typical and controls are simple: 
attacks, 
jumps, 
changes weapon. By default you have a long-range whip, but will pick up other weapons later. Pressing 
and 
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.
