The original release of the game, which was released in 1991, was actually titled Lagaf': Les Aventures de Moktar - Vol 1: La Zoubida. This original version of the game featured a French comedian named Vincent Lagaf'. When the game was set to release in other regions the mascot and name were changed with Titus the Fox: To Marrakech and Back releasing in 1992. The handheld ports altered this title further, going by just Titus the Fox.
