Titus The Fox: To Marrakech And Back

Made by Movie software in 1991. And published by Titus for the commodore amiga.


Hi guys, my name is titus. My liancee Foxy was sent to the Shara desert Fox & Locks Magazine.This reputable publication had sent her on assignment to investigate that very rare species - the desert fox.However, during a nocturnal photo session, she was suddenly attacked and kidnapped by bandits.
She is no an unwilling concubine in the harem of the knights of Shah Hassan. Although this may sound dangerous and full of dungeons and dangers, i don't have a choice.I must set upon my journey and rescue my imprisoned vixen.



OBJECTS
A large choice of objects (each with its own charactestics) is scattered around each level, to help you overcome both barriers and your adversaries.

Now you can pick up the object and move arond with it. Note that it is not possible to access a secret passage when holding an object.
