In the year 1983, the French videogame sector began its early structuration: the first videogame titles for microcomputers were being coded, published, and sold on the French market, with publishers such as Infogrames or Loriciel, studios such as Ère Informatique or Cobra Soft, wholesalers such as Innelec, specialised press titles such as Tilt, and videogame stores such as Electron in Paris or Micromania, which, at the time, were only sold via mail order. For a few years, from 1983 to 1988, the French videogame sector exclusively published titles targeting a French audience and the French market. Since early French videogame players were not very proficient in English—The Pink Panther's Inspector Clouseau actually being a somewhat accurate example of how French people used to speak and understand English at the time—many of the first French publishers chose to exploit text-free action-arcade formulas such as Pac-Man’s, which was copied in Crocky (Loriciels, 1983), or Frogger’s, which was copied in Autoroute (Infogrames, 1983). Other publishers chose to translate American or British adventure games into French. Thus, for instance, Wizardry (Sir-Tech, 1981) became Sorcellerie (Ediciel, 1983) in September 1983. After that, French videogames gradually found their own cultural identity as they began to create original game content for French audiences—although this soon came to an end with the rise of the global game market in the late 1980s.
