Beyond Games was an American video game developer. It was founded in 1992 by Kris Johnson.[1][2][3] The first release from the company was BattleWheels for the Atari Lynx, winner of the 1993 Consumer Electronics Show Innovations Award.[4][5][6] Their follow-up, CyberVirus, was planned for release the following year, but abandoned due to sagging sales of the platform. Assets and code were sold to Songbird Productions, who completed and published the game in 2002.
Before they went under, they were working on a game titled Doomsday Rescue. In 2003, many of their employees, including Kris Johnson, would go on to form Smart Bomb Interactive (now known as WildWorks), where they continue to make games.
