BeamWars BeamWars is a Macintosh shareware arcade-style game that was popular in the early 1990s, created by Steve Crutchfield while he was attending the Illinois Math and Science Academy. Its pioneering use of digitized sound, music and voice effects (including the trademark "Welcome to BeamWars" and "The game is a draw" samples), and arrival as one of the first well-known full-color games for the Macintosh, won it a number of accolades, including recognition as one of the three best Macintosh shareware games of all time in MacUser magazine's 1993 book, "MacUser's Guide to Shareware".
