Beyond Software

Background
Beyond Software was founded in 1988 by Don Daglow, the former employee of Broderbund, Mattel and Electronic Arts based in San Rafael. The company was known for developing SSI's Gold Box titles and Tony La Russa Baseball, as well as online games, like Neverwinter Nights. The company eventually became Stormfront Studios in 1993.

(1988-1993)
Visuals: On a dark blue background, we see the text "Times New Roman" with a line below and the word "SOFTWARE" is shown in a futuristic font. In place of the "O" is a circle containing a sky background. A star shines over the circle. The word "AND" is shown below, leading to the SSI logo.
