Talent was a norwegian based demo group, born at the Razor 1911 and imp-666
Amiga Conference in september of 1991. Their first ever production was
"Neverending Fantasies", released at this party.

  Mini Demo (1991, ECS Demo).
  info: Reviewed in Pure Metal Coders and New Wave's "RAW #1" [11/91].
  Is this the same as "Neverending Fantasies" [09/91], their 3rd-placed demo
  from the Razor 1911 & Imp-666 Amiga Conference demo competition? Several
  of the other demos reviewed in RAW #1 were from this competition, so it's
  a fair assumption.

  code: Tom, gfx: Lazur, music: Dreamer.
  6th in The Party 4 40k intro competition.
  review: Technically oustanding when it was released, HM still impresses
  today. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that triceraptor PHONG-shaded!?
  If it is, I truly believe this is the first instance EVER on the Amiga!
  Otherwise, big gouraud-shaded objects with lots of faces are cool as
  hell. Yeah! [glenn]

Tribute was a finnish demo group born when the group Destruction changed its
name to Tribute in 1997. Multi-function-man Speedo (06/97) was previously
Pacman/Destruction. He left the group late 97 to join Haujobb.

 Before (1997, 06.06, AGA 64k Intro).
  code/gfx/music: Speedo. 3rd in the Abduction 97 64k intro competition.
  review: This is more like it! If this little gem came in third, I'm dying
  to see the two intros that made it before this! There's fast chunky
  bitmap manipulation/zoomers that's most popular here, with some nice and
  speedo routines to help things along (then again, his handle is 'Speedo'
  ;). Amazingly, one person did all this. Recommended for a good little
  intro with fast routines, nice design and nice music.
    Here's a quote from the text file: 'Won't work on "over-accelerated"
  machines with Setpatch activated. So boot without Startup-Sequence or
  atleast without Setpatch.' Still, it ran fine on my machine, started from
  DOpus! Doesn't require a fast processor, but recommends at least 030 with
  some fast RAM.
