Loriciel was a French video game development and publishing company that was active during the 1980s and early 1990s. Founded in 1983 by Roland Oskian and Marc Bayle, Loriciel made a significant impact on the European gaming scene during its heyday.
The company initially gained attention for developing games for home computers of the time, including the popular platforms like the Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Amiga, and later, the IBM PC. Loriciel produced a variety of games across different genres, ranging from action and adventure to strategy and simulation.
Loriciel also published games developed by other studios, further expanding its catalog and influence in the gaming industry.
Despite its initial success, Loriciel faced financial difficulties in the early 1990s, leading to its eventual closure in 1993.
