(c) 1984, Laurent Benes et Loriciels
The original game was written by Laurent Benes, assisted by Karine Le Pors. Le retour du Dr Genius was published by Loriciels in 1984-1985 for the Oric and Amstrad CPC computers.
We wanted to port it to the Apple II as the platform lacks so many interesting French games of that era. We even made an English port. We got Laurent Benes' approval to release the Apple II version. We also thank XavSnap for the data of the game.
We ported the engine to the Apple IIgs to enhance the player's experience: more colors, better resolution, sounds and musics.
Dr. Genius strikes back and challenges the world. He gives humanity two weeks before destroying Earth. You are sent to his ship to try to destroy his weapons and stop Dr. Genius.
