- Talent + International Network of Chaos — United Kingdom, founded July 1989
The second joint production from Talent and International Network of Chaos, released on the same day as the group's founding date of 21 July 1989. Bod coded the intro while The Mind Slayer contributed an NTSC fix — the same Mind Slayer who coded the earlier #376 T_INC-01. No music or graphics credits are listed, continuing the utilitarian approach of this early partnership. Talent was a UK-based group that would later become far more prominent through its alliance with Ikari, as documented in #37 Talent-11. The NTSC fix credit is notable — it indicates awareness of the transatlantic market and a desire to ensure compatibility with North American C64 hardware, a concern that separated serious distribution groups from casual operations. Talent's archived website survives on the Wayback Machine.
