A foxy quest for old-school love!



<span class="bold">Titus the Fox: To Marrakech and Back</span>, an addictive but punishing sidescrolling platformer from the glory days, is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Remember when, as kids, you were smitten with your friend's gaming machine and certain that you could beat that amazing platformer they couldn't seem to master? Titus the Fox was one of those games.
The constantly smiling fox is on a mission to rescue his kidnapped sweetheart, Suzy, and he's even willing to cross the Sahara desert to get to her. Angry construction workers, giant bees, ferocious dogs, and unfriendly louts will try to stop him, but Titus has the means to outfox them all. Pick up enemies and throw them at their colleagues, jump higher with the help of well-placed springs, or sweep across the terrain using unconventional means of transportation like skateboards and magic carpets. Your true love awaits!



Relive the glory days of zany platforming with the <span class="bold">Titus the Fox: To Marrakech and Back</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

snowkatt: so interplay ended up owning titus ?

Grargar: Yup. Interplay also brought Prehistorik 1+2 here last year.
Wasn't it more like the other way around? Titus Interactive acqured Interplay way back when.

I really hope they dump their entire catalogue (especially the Star Trek stuff) here before they manage to sell off their IPs (which will likely result in a gog catalogue purge hitherto unseen).

I remembering playing it on my 486 computer, its super hard.

Does the GOG version have the intro screen mocking you for playing an old game?

I remember playing this once and not liking it. Something about the way that levels scrolled.

If memory serves there was also a Game Boy port.

Now we need a game about this Titus.

If we can get good old platformers from the Amiga days in their DOS incarnations, how about this one?

Both. Titus acquired Interplay during 1999-2001 when Interplay had financial issues. Then, in 2005, Titus faced bankruptcy and was dissolved. Because the bankruptcy was filed into a local district court, this didn't affect Interplay who was an international subsidiary and as a result, was able to survive and acquire Titus' properties.
