January 5, 1996 -- Irvine, CA -- VR Sports announced today that VR Baseball
'96 will step up to the plate and be released in time for the Major League
Baseball season armed with a complete license from Major League Baseball

players, while Virtual FieldVision enables every perspective from every
position to be viewed by gamers.

"The advanced technology that is featured in VR Baseball '96 makes this the
most advanced professional baseball simulation yet," said Matt Findley, VR
Sports' director of sports development. "VR Baseball '96 is the real
teams, the real players, the real stadium, and the real game."

VR Baseball '96 not only provides all the real MLB teams, all the real
MLBPA players, and all the real team stadiums, but the subtle nuances that
create a look and feel unmatched in current sports software. Realistic 3D
polygons include real major league players including texture-mapped faces
on each figure. If a gamer wants to step up to the plate and play as Cal
Ripken, Jr. or stand on the mound as Hideo Nomo, gamers can make the
choice. Gamers can choose to play from a first-person perspective and put
themselves in the game. VR Baseball '96 gives the option of choosing which
real major league stadium to play, including Coors Field and the Ballpark
in Arlington.

"VR Baseball '96 will be the first interactive baseball simulation that
puts the gamer in the game against pros that look real, including their
actual faces, so when you see Greg Maddux take the mound, it will really
look like Greg Maddux," said Paul Sackman, VR Sports' director of
marketing. "This is a very realistic fully-licensed professional baseball
simulation which incorporates all the fun of being a real major leaguer."
