[1992] Moktar, Titus the Fox (6.5)


"Yeaaa... You're still playing Moktar! Programmed in 1991 on AT 286 12MHZ. Enjoy Moktar adventure!"  When Les Aventures de Moktar was released in France, coder Eric Zmiro left this note, no doubt with the intention of reaching it decades later; to today.

Despite the story of rescuing a kidnapped lover in distant lands after several levels reminiscent of Super Mario, the game remains rich enough to be enjoyed today, especially within its music and in-game elements, In the game, overcoming challenges sometimes requires more than just jumping and running; logic comes into play as well. Titus offered new abilities  to players like throwing objects, driving a skateboard and knocking down enemies on our way, swinging a heavy loaded shopping cart...


There is no saving system in the game, but there are checkpoints.  The game soundtrack is well composed. The map and character artwork are carefully crafted. The good integration of graphics and music into the atmosphere of the game sometimes draws the player into the game until the end, sometimes melancholic, sometimes fearful. Titus is a classic, deserved its place among jump and run games.

🏷️ Score: 6.5/10
