Ornette

"Take Back The Land"
Ornette aka Mari Ornette and the 12 Wizards is an Metroidvania NES game released in 1991, which notable today is the earliest example of Metroidvania.
==Plot==
In the sacred land of Nazareth, the Dark Overlord Azurai plans to take over the 12 Wizards of Nazareth. In response, the Jaqulin Crusade sends Mari Ornette, an female arcane wizard to stop Azurai's tyranny and take back the wizards' power and repel them back to Azurai. 
==Gameplay==
The game plays more like Metroid and Zelda II: Adventure of Link, where it revolves around an open world and areas, and Metroid for the more platforming adventures. The game focuses more on the action and adventuring. 
The HUD is represented by a grimoire, the main weapon and three locks. The locks are the 3 unlockable weapons; the gun, the hammer, and the Astral Blades which are four avion spinning blades. As you collect a weapon, the locked icon changes to the weapon you just unlocked. 
On the other side there is health and magic. Health starts out at 20 points and increases to 99, while most enemies do 2 to 4 on the early game, and on the late game 8 to 20 damage to 16 to 40 without the Archwizard Suit. Magic starts out at 10, and increases up to 99. Magic is needed to use special weapons. 
The open world consists of 8 towns, 14 dungeons, and 7 secret areas. 
The game uses a battery backup that consists of 3 save files.
