Overview
Founded in 1986 in North London, England, Thalamus was subsidiary to the Newsfield publishing house (responsible for popular gaming magazines Crash! and Zzap!64, amongst others), trying to cash in the popularity of the magazines as well as utilizing the in-house information infrastructure. Among the games released over the next 8 years were successful titles such as Sanxion, Armalyte and Delta. However, financial troubles of the parent company and with the expensive transition from 8 to 16bit systems lurking ahead, Thalamus went defunct in 1993 with a few Amiga and some C64 projects in development (Including sequels to Armalyte, Sanxion and Delta) which were conclusively canned. Eidos Interactive acquired some of the Thalamus rights.
