TOP GUN: FIRE AT WILL GOES GOLD!

Alameda, Calif., February 12, 1996-Spectrum HoloByte, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBYT)
announced today the gold master release of Top Gun: Fire at Will on PC
CD-ROM. The Company is doing a worldwide marketing launch of this highly
anticipated interactive action-flying game on February 20, 1996. The
simultaneous release of this product will enable Spectrum HoloByte to
capitalize on broad marketing support and, in turn, maximize its impact at
retail.

Licensed through Viacom Consumer Products, Top Gun: Fire at Will is
designed to be a fast-action, fun, easy-to-learn game in which the player
assumes the role of "Maverick," a hotshot F-14 pilot ready to make his
mark. Just like in Paramount Pictures' blockbuster movie, TOP GUN&trade;,
the action is nonstop and starts at Fighter Weapons School. While there,
the player's job is to compete for the Top Gun Trophy and then go on to
undertake a series of missions in an epic adventure that takes the player
right into the heat of battle.

Veteran actor James Tolkan returns as Hondo, the commanding officer, a role
similar to the one he played in the film. Co-starring is female lead Julie
Carmen. Top Gun: Fire At Will utilizes live-action video to enhance
realism and make the player a part of the story. The game combines
industry-leading high- resolution 3-D graphics technology and
realistic-looking flying sequences, with one of the most popular
action/adventure movies in history, resulting in a thrilling dogfighting
game designed to appeal to the mass market.
