BlueSky Software Inc.

Founded in California in 1988, the studio initially gained traction by delivering unique concepts for platforms like the Atari 7800 and Commodore 64. Early projects included the promotional computer game Avoid the Noid and the quirky Atari releases Ninja Golf and Basketbrawl, which blended traditional sports with combat mechanics. They also produced the side-scrolling platformer Scrapyard Dog.

As the 16-bit era emerged, the developer transitioned into high-profile licensed adaptations. Their work on Dick Tracy for the Sega Genesis showcased side-scrolling action and shooting mechanics, while Joe Montana Football solidified Sega's early sports presence. This success led to major Disney and Universal partnerships. For Ariel the Little Mermaid, they created an underwater adventure featuring detailed sprite work. Their subsequent work on the Jurassic Park franchise for the Genesis became highly acclaimed for its advanced graphics, platforming physics, and the novel ability to play as either a human or a Velociraptor. The studio continued developing for various platforms until its closure in 2001.
