Titus Interactive

Background
Titus Interactive SA (known as Titus France SA until March 1999) was a French video game company founded in 1985 by brothers Eric and Hervé Caen. The company had a reputation of producing bad games, with Superman 64 for the Nintendo 64 and RoboCop for the PS2 being their most infamous ones. In late 1999, Titus acquired a majority share in struggling publisher Interplay Entertainment, which also included a stake in Virgin Interactive, later taking full control of both companies in August 2001. By June 2004, the company went through serious financial and legal problems, and was shut down in January 2005. Titus' assets were soon acquired by Interplay.

(1991-December 1, 2004)
Nicknames: "The Red Fox", "The Fox of Ineptitude" (normal version), "Titus the Fox", "Cartoon Fox"

Logo: On a black background is a -outlined rectangle. Inside that rectangle is a -outlined diamond (with a white "shadow") with a cartoony-looking fox (named Titus) sticking his tongue out towards the screen. Under that is "Serif", and a trademark symbol (™) is displayed near the bottom of the diamond in.

Variants:
 * A variant has "PRESENTS" under the company name in white.
 * Another variant has the logo without the -outlined rectangle and the ™ symbol.
 * Another has the logo moved up to the top of the screen.
 * On the Game Boy Color release of Titus the Fox, it has the fox in a -outlined diamond on a white background, then it has a screen saying "Serif" and below that, "PRESENTS" in black.
 * Another version has a more cartoony version of Titus. This version does not appear in a diamond.
 * The prototype version of Superman 64, known as Superman: The New Superman Adventures, has an animated variant with the word "Presents" on the bottom-right corner and a horrifying looking 3D version of Titus that appears, zooms in, and moves to the right side of the screen, moving his ears and mouth on the way. After it leaves, the name and "Presents" then zoom out and goes to the game. This variant also appears on Virtual Chess 64, where he howls after he zooms in.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None, or the opening theme of the game. The 3D variant has none or TItus howling.

Availability: Seen on games from the company, such as Realm, Prehistorik Man, and RoboCop (the ones released in 2001 and 2003 with that exact title; Titus acquired the license to produce games for the RoboCop franchise in 1999). The version with "PRESENTS" can be seen on The Blues Brothers for the SNES. The one with the cartoony head appears on Top Gun: Combat Zones, Worms World Party and the infamous Superman 64.

Editor's Note: The logo, much like the games they created, is incredibly cheap-feeling. The original design of the fox leaves a lot to be desired, and the name is just laughable.
