Talent (TLN, 1991-)

Talent is a demo group based in Norway, which were born at the Razor 1911 & Imp-666 Amiga Conference (09/'91). Their first ever production was "Neverending Fantasies", released at this party.

Though they were originally all Norwegian, also minor foreign sections were eventually granted membership. Brainbug is still working with his old group-pals in Alcatraz Entertainment Software, doing sound for their games.
