Disney Interactive and 7th Level Team-Up for New Title

"Hunchback of Notre Dame" Follows Successful "Timon and Pumbaa"
Collaboration

BURBANK, Calif., April 8 -- Disney Interactive and 7th Level, Inc. (Nasdaq:
SEVL) today announced plans to co-develop a new PC game, following their
successful pairing in last year's hit gamepack, "GameBreak! Timon &
Pumbaa's Jungle Games."

The announcement was made jointly by Steve McBeth, president of Disney
Interactive, George Grayson, chairman and chief executive officer of 7th
Level, Inc., and Marc Teren, vice president of Disney Interactive's
Entertainment group.

The new CD-ROM gamepack, featuring the characters from Disney's upcoming
animated film "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," includes five single and
multiplayer games designed for home PC systems. The title, the second in
Disney's "GameBreak" line, is scheduled for release this summer.

Continuing the successful relationship established with the "Timon &
Pumbaa" release, Disney artists, producers and designers reunite with
programmers, designers and the production team from 7th Level to produce a
new title geared for gamers ages 7 and older. The new collaboration
combines the fun of Disney characters and stories with 7th Level's proven
technology and production process to create a state-of-the-art animated
action game for home PC systems.

In announcing the co-development, McBeth said "I am delighted to continue
Disney Interactive's association with 7th Level. The creative and
commercial success of our `Timon & Pumbaa' collaboration has proven to be
a highly successful model. I look forward to working together again and to
creating top-quality entertainment for our all-family audience."

"`Hunchback' is a welcome addition to our production schedule," said
Grayson. "It's the next step for us in expanding our relationship with
Disney and seeking future development opportunities together."

Disney Interactive and 7th Level first teamed on the critically acclaimed
PC game title, "GameBreak! Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games," released in
November 1995. Called "the best" arcade-style game collection by HomePC
Magazine, "Timon & Pumbaa" became the #2-selling family entertainment
title for Christmas 1995, having sold 175,000 units to date.

Teren said, "The success of `Timon & Pumbaa' has helped expand the PC game
genre with its broad-based, all-family appeal and top-quality gameplay.
Our new `Hunchback' title will build on this foundation to create a new
standard for PC games in the family entertainment category."

7th Level, Inc. blends the best of Hollywood creative artistry, proprietary
production techniques and world-class animators and producers to develop
state-of-the-art multimedia products.
