Loriciels

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Loriciels (later known as Loriciel) was a French video game company, founded in 1983 by Marc Bayle and Laurent Weill.

The company thrived in the 80's developing and publishing games on various platforms: Oric 1, ZX81, ZX Spectrum, Thomson and eventually Amiga and Atari ST.

Undergoing financial difficulties, the company went bankrupt in 1993, following several changes of name and attempts to revive the company: Loriciels first became 'Loriciel' then 'Virtual Studio'.

• Infernal Runner
