Topaz are a mostly Finnish demo group. Scapegoat has coded lots of tools, including Deadline Writer, CharZipper and Assembly Converter. D'Arc is the author of the AFLI Editor 2.0. 1991 - Early part of the year (february?) brought a tragedy for Topaz, when their finnish member Coax (Mikko Paronen, music) was killed in a train accident. A memorial demo was reportedly planned by the finnish scene, but we have no information on if it was ever released. 1992 - In may, the two danes Caprix (code) and Kirk (gfx, also in Plasma Design) left the group for Oxyron. 1993 - Dutch Calypso (gfx) joined from F4CG in january, while maintaining his double membership in Amnesia.
