A fox without a tail? What new spore of madness is THIS?! 8O Today on Ancient DOS Games, Gemini's taking a look at Titus the Fox, a platformer made by Titus Software in 1992 as a reskin of an earlier game they made in 1991 based around French celebrity Vincent Lagaf. The usual opinion I hear about this game is that it's "painfully average", but the truth about it is actually quite a bit different... ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * Here's a link to GOG if you want to pick up a copy of this game for yourself: https://www.gog.com/game/titus_the_fox_to_marrakech_and_back/?pp=91dfde1d6e005e422f64a59776234f1f4c80b5e4 * I once again made the mistake of assuming that the main gameplay was 256-colours... and it technically is. The game starts up in a 256-colour VGA mode and does NOT switch out from it, yet the main gameplay is only using 16 colours! :o * The Gameboy and GBC versions also appear to have lots more graphics of Titus added to them, plus they actually did give Titus a tail in the artwork for the GBC version, so I have a funny feeling those may be the best ones to go with over the DOS original. * When it comes to figuring out what the proper aspect ratio is when a game uses weird video mode alterations, I just use the box as a point of reference! By comparing the aspect ratio of the screenshots on the back of the box for this game I was able to determine that the main gameplay is indeed supposed to be running with a 1:1 pixel aspect! ;) * For those curious, my favourite animals from first to fourth favourite are: Foxes, Rabbits, Bears and Raccoons. After that, it's a bit of a jumble. :P ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html Kris' Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/kasick @Pixelmusement on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pixelmusement
