L'Aigle d'Or is a 1984 French action video game by Loriciels.
The game had an initial investment of approximately 100,000 FF and took three months of work. [1]
Games & Strategy suggested that in the Loriciels catalog, the game was "only (and wrongly)" cited as a role-playing game. [2] Microphone anticipated the game's release on MO5 to be successful due to the recent success of its Oric release. [3] The game peaked at 30,000 copies sold. [1]
Tilt wrote the game is: "the precursor of a new range of adventure software, which will be more and more realistic, more and more “real”. An undeniable success." [4] Micro 7 gave it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. [5]
The game has been described as reminiscent of the Thomson MO5 video game Thesaurus [7] [8] and the Oric (acquired by Atmos) title Le secret du tombeau. [9] Tilt noted that publishers were using "drastic measures to extract the quintessence of the Thomson TO7/70", citing L'Aigle d'Or, Thesarus, and Mandragore in the adventure and role-playing genres. [10]
It had a sequel in 1992 called L'Aigle d'or, le retour .
