>>3359612
Casual reminder that Titus is actually the international version of the french game 'les aventures de moktar" (moktar's adventures).

The original is based on a song, nowadays considered having racist undertones but perfectly fine back then, from the comedian named Lagaf. In the song he was throwing a few offensive stereotypes on arabs and Moktar was a guy who had stolen a scooter and then somehow went to marrakech to free his girlfriend named Zoubida.

The studio probably thought the game wouldn't sell outside of France without changing the character.
