Loriciel, formerly Loriciels, was a French home computer software developer founded in 1983 by Mark Bayle and Laurent Weill.The company owes is name to microcomputer Oric-1 (the name is a pun which combines the French word logiciel = software and oric, the name of the microcomputer) manufactured by British company Tangerine Computer Systems for which they produced their very first games. In 1990 the company was forced to abdicate the "S" and change his name to Loriciel due to financial problems. In 1994 the company goes bankrupt and in an attempt to "reborn", it becomes Virtual Studio. This reformed version of the company developed games mostly for larger French companies like Infogrames, Delphine Software International and Microïds, such as The Smurfs, The Smurfs Travel the World and also the Sega Saturn version of Time Commando, before the definitive demise of the company in 1999.
