MULTIPLAYER SYNDICATE WARS FOR PC AND THE PLAYSTATION

DESPERATION AND WARFARE LIE AHEAD IN A DARK, CORPORATE-RUN FUTURE

LOS ANGELES, MAY 16, 1996 BOOTH 10311-- The award-winning, action/strategy
game Syndicate quickly established itself as a classic for its bleak,
apocalyptic atmosphere of futuristic corporate warfare. Now, Electronic
Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS), a leading global interactive entertainment company,
and Bullfrog announce the upcoming release of the sequel to Syndicate --
Syndicate Wars, available this Fall for both PC-CD and the PlayStation.
Syndicate Wars provides the much-requested multiplayer option for both
platforms, including eight-player for the PC version.

With over a DOZEN AWARDS TO ITS CREDIT, including Special Achievement in
Innovative Design from Game Players Magazine, Syndicate combined a unique
blend of strategy with explosive, terrifying action. Syndicate Wars
expands on the original's success with new real-time light sourcing
effects and a unique new 360-degree rotating view and zoom-in.

In keeping with Bullfrog's belief in "living worlds", the population of
SYNDICATE WARS interact independently of the player, yet are fully
responsive to commands. The player rules a band of four cybernetically
enhanced agents who use lethal force to gain control of the planet. Due to
the biomechanical enhancements provided by the corporation, these cyborg
agents are endowed with superhuman strength, sight, and speed. Use them to
complete the various missions including assassinations, object recovery,
and escorting in a bid to become world leader.

An extensive range of weaponry gives the player the capacity to destroy
whole cities and watch it happen right on the computer screen. Explosions,
search lights, and torches, using the new light-sourcing technology, help
shed light on the dark corners of the city for a realistic view of the
enemy laying in wait.

Choose and control agents from among the SYNDICATE or religious cult and
vie for domination among up to eight players with Bullfrog's standard
network multiplayer option for the PC-CD version. The PlayStation version
will allow two-player play.

SYNDICATE WARS is scheduled to ship in Fall '96 for both PC-CD and the
PlayStation with an estimated SRP of $59.95.
