Beam Software of Melbourne, founded in 1980 by Alfred Milgrom and Naomi Besen, carved a niche on DOS by merging rich stories with clever tech. Its Tolkien text adventures—The Hobbit (1983), Lord of the Rings: Game One, Shadows of Mordor and The Crack of Doom—brought Middle-earth to PC with the advanced “Inglish” parser. The studio then switched gears, unleashing punchy action in Bad Street Brawler and ringside antics in Bop’N Wrestle, before embracing FMV noir with The Dame Was Loaded (1996). Every one of these classics launches instantly here in your browser—no downloads, no fuss—so you can relive Beam’s best for free right on this page.
