'''Tera (Australia)''' was a [[Commodore 64]] software production group, formed in [[1989]] by the merging of '''Tour de Future (Australia)''' and '''Reflex (Australia)'''. The group developed leading and lasting reputation in the international [[Commodore 64]] scene, based upon high quality software releases, notably a world-record [[Run-length encoding|RLE]] packer, continuance of the famous notemaker series and quality demos. From late [[1989]] across [[1990]], the group gained a bulletin board in the [[United States]] and members in [[Europe]] admist further expansion in [[Australia]], but rapidly lost steam and by [[1991]] was alive only in name, to formally declare itself dead in [[1992]]. Members included matt', xlr8, boss, bullet, mistic, hex-hacker,snoop and kilenemy
