Titus' girlfriend Foxy has been kidnapped by the Sultan Rabys and the obligatory chase ensues, through seventeen levels of exotic locales, such as Egypt and the not-so-exotic streets.

So far, so run-of-the-mill and vaguely xenophobic. Titus The Fox was a big hit in the old monochrome days of the Game Boy Normal, but it has to be said that this colour update is looking very dated in the 21st Century. The object of each level is to run around picking up every single yellow diamond, and avoiding scorpions and big guys with swords. Titus is a singularly weak character, capable only of ducking and jumping, and incapable of fighting enemies unless there's a pick-up handy.

Each sprite is surrounded by a line that suggests either bad graphics or eating Ready Brek, and with seventeen levels, this is not impressive. What does save this game is the option to play two-player games via the link cable. If you can talk a friend into buying the game, that is...
