A Platform Game originally designed as Les Aventures de Moktar - Vol. 1: La Zoubida, it was developed and published by Titus Software in 1992, based on the song La Zoubida by French comedian Lagaf'. When it was released in other countries, the main hero, Moktar, was replaced by the company's mascot, Titus. In both cases, the aim is to traverse a number of levels searching for your loved one, either the titular Zoubida, or Titus's girlfriend Foxy.

Aside from the usual walking, jumping, and evading enemies, gameplay focuses on objects that you can pick up, put down, and throw. Throwing an object is a way to get rid of enemies; putting down objects in the right places allows you to reach higher areas. Certain special objects like bowling balls and a flying carpet can be thrown indefinitely without disappearing.


The games contain tropes such as:

  • Checkpoint Starvation: You can get a code to start from each level, but the codes are hidden. If you don't find them, you'll just have to continue from the beginning again.
  • Covers Always Lie: The cover for the Game Boy Color version bears no resemblance to the game itself. It features a generic cartoon fox holding a key and some woodland creatures in a forest; none of which, barring the fox at the very least, is in the actual game.
  • Easter Egg: Playing the game more than five years after its release date gives you a message from the programmer that says "Yea... you are still playing Moktar in (year you're playing the game in)!!".
  • Excuse Plot: Your love is gone, go find her. That's pretty much it.
  • Nintendo Hard: The enemies aren't so hard, but all the jumping...
