Keep. In the UK, in particular, Beyond Software is far more well known that the former name of Stormfront. The question is, what harm does this page do?

Keep and convert into an article about the UK Beyond, publishers of
Lords of Midnight and
Doomdark's Revenge, it was a genuinely noteworthy publisher in 8-bit computer games. A hatnote pointing to Stormfront would do fine for that Beyond. Not sure about how relevant the other business is, either it is notable (needs an article) or all mention should be removed.
Here's an example of possible sources for the UK publisher. Here's a magazine scan from a review of LoM:
[1], "heralded as the first 'epic' game".

Keep, I recognised the name instantly. Although not well known today they produced many quite popular games in the days of 8-bit computing. It possibly needs bringing to the attention of a suitable wikiproject for improvement.

Keep for the ZX Spectrum company; the articles linked to from World of Spectrum show a wealth of material that can be used to expand the article (indeed I might do so myself.)
