El Viento came out for the Sega Genesis in 1991, developed by Wolf Team and published by Renovation Products. It was part of that wave of action games that tried to do something a little different with the hardware, offering a side scrolling adventure that felt distinct from the typical platformers of the time.

You control Annet, a young sorceress in 1930s New York, tasked with stopping a cult from resurrecting an ancient evil. The game plays out across single screen areas where you run, jump, and use a short range knife attack against a constant stream of enemies. Your main tools are magical spells, which you collect and activate with button combinations; these range from screen clearing bursts to homing projectiles. The pace is relentless, with enemies swarming from all directions, and the difficulty is unforgiving, demanding quick reflexes and smart spell management. It feels like a frantic scramble for survival where every cleared screen is a small victory.
