Titus Software, later known as Titus Interactive S.A., was a long-running French software publisher that produced and published video games for various formats over its lifetime.
Avalon Interactive was a subsidiary of Titus Interactive, responsible for the European distribution of the group’s games.
History
Founded by brothers Eric and Hervé Caen in France in 1985,[1] Titus began releasing titles on the Commodore Amiga and PC before moving on to consoles such as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, and Nintendo 64, finally publishing titles for the Nintendo GameCube and Sony PlayStation 2.
Titus acquired BlueSky Software and the even longer-lived UK developer Digital Integration in 1998 and went public, listing on the French stock market.[1] It also gained a majority interest in American struggling publisher Interplay in August 2001, naming Hervé Caen CEO of the company after the departure of Interplay’s Brian Fargo.[2] By the turn of the century the strain of Titus’ expansion was beginning to show, and the company fizzled into financial, then legal difficulties, culminating in a close of business in 2005.[citation needed]
Games published
Most games were developed in-house by Titus Software unless otherwise stated.
