"It was hot, it was very hot, that summer on the Coast ... The sun was sinking on the beach, the Mediterranean looked like a lake and the palm trees adorned the Promenade des Anglais. A real painting of Matisse. The city was starting to come alive this Saturday morning. The tourists, towel in hand, went to the beach and the housewives did their shopping. Everything seemed calm! A ordinary weekend in short! However, with a warm heart but a cold head, the "new brain" prepared the heist of the century. His goal: to rob the most famous bank of Nice and enjoy happy days far away from France ... Easy to dream but hard to succeed!"
"Il faisait chaud, il faisait très chaud, cet été-là sur la Côte... Le soleil plombait sur la plage, la Méditerranée ressemblait à un lac et les palmiers ornaient la Promenade des Anglais. Un véritable tableau de Matisse. La ville commençait à s'animer en ce samedi matin. Les touristes, serviette en main, gagnaient la plage et les ménagères faisaient leur marché. Tout semblait calme! Un week-end bien ordinare en somme! Pourtant! Le cœur chaud mais la tête froide, le "nouveau cerveau" préparait le hold-up du siècle. Son but: dévaliser la plus fameuse banque de Nice pour couler des jours heureux loin de France... Facile à rêver mais dur à réussir ce coup!"
Hold-up was a French graphics adventure game published by Infogrames in 1985 for the Apple ][. I believe it was the only Apple ][ game that they ever published. Hope you enjoy the walkthrough!
