Talent Computer Systems
Curran Building, 101 St. James Road
Glasgow City, Glasgow G4 0NS
Scotland
Year Founded: 1983
Talent Computer Systems published a wide range of games and adventures for the Sinclair QL and Atari computers. They originally used a Wicat, an up market 68000 based machine, running under Unix for software development. All of their early software was written in Stab, a language developed at Strathclyde University, which is related to C and BCPL.
They were best known for producing QL Paint under the Sinclair label and the ground breaking (and ever-needed) Cartridge Doctor which would attempt to rescue damaged files from microdrive cartridges automatically (or as Talent coined it - automagically).
Talent changed its name to Colin Ross Malone Ltd. and is still in business. They now concentrate on educational products and documentation for large organisations such as HP and the National Health Service.
Their catalogue of software, together with the Sinclair QL titles published by Microdeal were purchased by a Tom Dolezal who trades as Talent+. Much of their software is still available from RWAP Software.
