Since its inception in 1980, Beam Software has
always aimed to be the best at what it does. Our latest games KKND Xtreme and
Cricket 97 Ashes
Tour Edition, released by our publishing subsidiary Melbourne House, have done
extremely well in the marketplace, making us a household name at
least to fans of real-time strategy games and sports simulations.
And our upcoming games are going to prove even more exciting.
In
recent years,  the company's focus has expanded from the games arena, and
our activities now encompass a wider range of computer-related
aids.
Our division Smarty
Pants is creating software titles for kids. The Language For
Kids series has already attracted attention and praise - the first
title - Michio Teaches Japanese, was a winner at the 1997 ATOM
(Australian Teachers of Multimedia) Awards and a finalist at the
1997 Canadian Digital Media Awards.
Beam has a reputation for creating its own tools to get the job done.
Our proprietary video compression technology - VideoBeam
- is a worthy rival to the big name products currently dominating
the marketplace.

Our FAMOUS
Faces and Motion Capture
Magic are exciting much interest in the film and television
industry in the US and Australia as viable and affordable tools for
real-time facial and full-body motion capture. FAMOUS created a huge
stir at the 1997 multimedia industry's E3 show in Atlanta due to our
real-time demonstration of the product.
Beam has also dived into the Internet tools market with its new
WYSIWYG web authoring tool Splash! The new tool has, since
its Christmas release, received a number of favorable reviews from
internet sites, MyDesktop.com amongst others. You can read these
reviews on the SPLASH!
reviews page. You can buy SPLASH! online from the SPLASH! site, and through other
online vendors.
Since Beam International's public float in August 1996, matters have only improved
within the company. We currently employ over 120 people - artists,
programmers, designers and producers - and we are still
hiring.
Expect to see a lot more from us in the future.
