Hi EAB peeps!

I've managed to unearth from some dusty archives and mouldy, moth-eaten records a few Amiga pics of unreleased footy game Arsenal FC.

Thalamus was supposed to release it in late '92, but it went into receivership. Unfortunately, Arsenal FC along with a bunch of other Amiga games (SUB, Nobby the Aardvark, Restrictor, Street Warriors, Delta Patrol) went down the gurgler at the same time, with Thalamus leaving behind not so much as a demo of any of the game titles to be savoured (or ridiculed, as the case may be!) by the Amiga masses.

Curiously, the Arsenal FC titlescreen was in HAM6 format and previews said the game was going to include a lot of static HAM6 screens.......but I only found the one in the Thalamus archive I got the pics from.

Anyway, I've updated the HOL entry of Arsenal FC, so have a looksy at the little-seen before pics of this Amiga game for yourself:
