QUARTERDECK ANNOUNCES GAMERUNNER 3, THE COMPLETE GAME ENHANCEMENT PACKAGE
FOR WINDOWS AND DOS

QEMM 8 Technology and Runtime Game Enhancement Support Windows 95, Windows
3.x, and DOS

MARINA DEL REY, CALIF., JANUARY 9, 1996 --- QUARTERDECK CORP. (NASDAQ:
QDEK) ANNOUNCED IT IS SHIPPING GAMERUNNER 3, AN ENHANCED SOFTWARE- BASED
GAME ACCELERATOR THAT PROVIDES MORE MEMORY FOR GAMES, SPEEDS UP CD ROM AND
HARD DISK DRIVES, AND LETS USERS CHEAT AT SELECTED GAMES WHILE THE GAME IS
RUNNING, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO EDIT SAVED GAME FILES. GAMERUNNER 3 IS THE
FIRST UTILITY TO SUPPORT BOTH WINDOWS 95 AND WINDOWS 3.X AS WELL AS MS
DOS. GAMERUNNER 3 INCLUDES THE DOS MEMORY MANAGEMENT SUPPORT FROM QUART
ERDECK'S ACCLAIMED QEMM 8 MEMORY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE.

In addition to the QEMM 8 DOS support, GameRunner 3 comes with Cache86, a
disk cache/accelerator, and Game Enhancement Modules (GEMs) that give
players features like invincibility and unlimited ammunition for their
favorite games. The GEMs now support 26 new games, almost 120 games total,
including recent hits like Command & Conquer and 3-D Pinball.

Quarterdeck designed GameRunner specifically to support both Windows and
DOS because according to a Fairfield Research report, 25 percent of home
users were expected to have migrated to Windows 95 by the end of 1995. The
majority of games released last year, however, are DOS-based.

"We recognized the need to balance running MS DOS games under Windows while
also supporting native Windows 95 and 3.x games as they slowly enter the
market. GameRunner allows us to support DOS, and 32- and 16-bit Windows
applications and provide a runtime cheater for all three platforms," said
Alex Eckelberry, Vice President and General Manager of the Utilities
business unit at Quarterdeck.

GameRunner 3 is shipping to retail outlets now and is also available via
mail order from Quarterdeck Select Corporation, 1-800-683-6696. Additional
information is available on Quarterdeck's World Wide Web site (
http://www.quarterdeck.com ), or through Quarterdeck's CompuServe Forum
(GO QUARTERDECK).
