THRUSTMASTER GETS SILVER BALL FEVER, INTRODUCES WIZZARD PINBALL CONTROLLER

PORTLAND, OR, October 23, 1995 -- ThrustMaster, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMSR) once
again leads the way in innovation with the new Wizzard Pinball Controller.
Now PC pinball wizards can forget about playing pinball with their
keyboards, the Wizzard was designed to give the ultimate game advantage by
providing more realistic interaction with pinball software games.

The Wizzard Pinball Controller is designed with two flipper controls that
attach to either side of the player's keyboard. Each control features
dual-stage flipper buttons which activate the upper and lower flippers
independently in supported software titles. The Wizzard also features a
custom designed optical potentiometer that senses table nudging and then
relays that information to the software, just like a good hip-check on the
real thing. If the player nudges the controls too hard, however, the
player will tilt in the game.

"Currently, pinball games make the gamer use the left and right Ctrl or
Shift keys for flipper buttons and the Alt keys to bump the table," said
Alan Smith, Marketing Director for ThrustMaster. "The Wizzard eliminates
the keyboard and provides much more realistic interaction with the game.
We're pleased to introduce another innovative product that demonstrates
our commitment to provide realistic and fully functional controllers for
computer-based entertainment software."

In addition to the controls, ThrustMaster will also include the classic
pinball game, Royal Flush by Amtex Software Corporation. Available on CD,
Royal Flush features the original table design with authentic sounds,
scrolling and stationary playfields, table tilt and slope adjustments, and
high resolution capability.

Available for IBM and compatible PCs, the Wizzard Pinball Controller with
software will be sold at a suggested retail price of $39.95 (U.S.).
ThrustMaster expects to begin making its first shipments of the product in
November.
