Titus The Fox: To Marrakech and Back

Pretty much the reskin of the same game made to promote the La Zoubida song of Vincent Lagaf. Neither game is good, also they might be potential proto-rage titles XD

however, this game gets too difficult from like map 8 onwards. If you never played this game as a kid, I don't recommend this game, it might get too hard even sooner than that for you. There is a cheat code to activate infinite lives, which I remember using back then. However, I don't remember how to activate it, so I can't make it through this game anymore :D, oh well. Also if you use a password to start from a certain map, you'll only get 3 lives, it's just not enough to get through some hard maps, even though I played this game before. 3 stars probably only thanks to nostalgia factor. If I never played this before, it would be probably only 2 stars.

Ok, I didn't even realise this little gem was available outisde the Commodore Amiga (where I originally played the game many moons ago). Here goes my two penneth. Firstly you'll be humming this tune for days. Literally. Not because it's particularly good, but its monotonous in a brainwashing kind of way. It can also be insanely difficult, though not always for the right reasons. Titus isnt a classic scrolling platformer, more a flick-screen game where you have to make it to the ends, top or bottom to progress. It's jarring to say the least when another screen flicks into view only to land an enemy right in front of you. Nothing a bit of trial and error to solve that issue though. How my poor gamepad survived until the end I'll never know. Still, technical issues aside, its a fun platformer with enough challenge to keep you going for some time. And at this price its a steal.

And is still poor today. To say that Titus is difficult to control is an understatement, it should have been called "Titus on Ice." A platform game where you watch as the main character slides between baddies being bounced around by them until he inevitably dies, and then try again... And this is just the first level! I can only imagine the game gets harder from there! The thought of trying to navigate Titus through any of the usual suspects of platform gaming makes me glad I never made it further. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if this game wasn't so expensive! But they want a LOT of money for a terrible take on a popular genre. There are SO many better platform games out there! I suppose I'm a little dirty on this game as it was a $4 random title in the St. Patrick's day promotion... Had I have known I would be getting Titus the Fox, I would have spent the money on ANYTHING else!

I never really got into this game. Played it for a while, but really didn't have fun so I just uninstalled it and moved on. more than 25 years old and it shows.
