Loriciel (also referred to as Loriciels) was a French video game creator operating from 1983 until the early 1990s. The company’s name is a blend of the French word logiciel (meaning software) and Oric, the initial computer system they developed games for.
During the 1980s, Loriciel released titles across several platforms such as the Oric 1, ZX81, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Thomson computers, and Atari ST. Their first game was Hubert, launched on the Commodore 64. Over its operational years, the company published approximately 150 games. Despite efforts to relaunch under the names Loriciel and later Virtual Studio, ongoing financial difficulties resulted in the company’s closure following the release of Tommy Moe's Winter Extreme: Skiing & Snowboarding for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
