GRIP THE WHEEL, REV THE ENGINE AND TAKE ON THE WORLDS TOUGHEST COURSES IN
GRAND PRIX II

EXPERIENCE THE WORLD OF FORMULA ONE COMPETITION IN HOT NEW RACING
SIMULATION

ELECTRONIC ENTERTAINMENT EXPO, LOS ANGELES, MAY 16, 1996 -- Racing
enthusiasts can join a real FIA Formula One team and race some of the most
challenging courses on the planet in Grand Prix II, a new car racing
simulation from Spectrum HoloByte, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBYT). Licensed by FIA
Formula One, Grand Prix II will put players in the hot seat as they
practice, challenge for the pole and go head-to-head with actual Formula
One drivers on tracks in Monaco, Brazil, France and beyond. Grand Prix II,
part of the popular World Circuit Racing brand, will be available on DOS
CD-ROM.

Grand Prix II provides the ultimate in realism, with every aspect of the
Formula One circuit re-created with incredible accuracy and detail. In
addition to the actual courses that make up the Grand Prix circuit, the
game includes full pitching and rolling, spectacular crashes, engine
blowups and richly detailed 3-D effects. As they race through tight curves
and fly down straightaways, drivers will even see the same trackside
sponsors they would encounter at the track itself.

An extraordinary amount of effort has been taken to make this game as
realistic as possible, said Louis Gioia, Jr., chief marketing officer of
marketing, Spectrum HoloByte, Inc. The result is a pulse-pounding
experience each time around the track, whether its a practice run or a
race against the best drivers on the circuit.

Grand Prix II offers players a number of options that add to its realism.
Enhanced camera views allow players to watch the race from several
different angles, just like those seen on television. Similarly, a replay
feature allows competitors to relive their finest moments from any of the
available views. Five levels of opponent ability and multiple driving aids
allow drivers to adjust the game to their own skill level and increase the
difficulty as they become more experienced racers. Players also have the
option of racing a full season or individual races.
