SAN JOSE, Calif.-May 25, 1993--Legend (tm) Entertainment Company today
announced the release of its award-winning title Eric The Unready (tm) for the
CD-ROM. A comic graphic adventure game from Bob Bates, author of the popular
computer game Timequest, Eric the Unready is also available for the IBM.
Legend Entertainment Company's products are exclusively distributed worldwide
by Accolade.

Eric, the knight in-not-so-shining armor, is on a hilarious quest to rescue the
beautiful Princess Lorealle from the clutches of the evil Queen Morgana and her
lover, Sir Pectoral. Eric searches the donut-shaped world of Torus, meeting
dragons, dwarves, unicorns and gods, in this zany adventure that lampoons
everything in its path from television and movies to other adventure games.

Visit the Not So Great Underground Empire where you'll meet Fran the Used Rock
Salesman (can he interest you in today's sale item, the headrest special?), or
perhaps go bungee cord diving from the top of the iron-spoked Ferrous Wheel in
the dwarves' amusement park. Then, look out for the dragon with the vulnerable
spot -- you have to be quick to slay this fire breather because the spot keeps
moving around.

Move on to the Mountain of the Gods and the temple of the virgins and survive
the most fearsome beasts of all, the dreaded Attack Turtles. Successfully
pilot a swamp ship and you may even get to keep your own captain's "log".

Packed with cinematic animation, original music and stunning 256-color Hi-Res
Super VGA art, Eric the Unready is destined to become a comedy classic.

Eric the Unready will be available at local software retailers or can be
purchased directly from Accolade by calling 1-800-245-7744.

PELE! FULL-FORCE ACTION FROM THE "SUPERSTAR" OF SOCCER

Category: Sports Simulation

Price & Availability: Sega Genesis - $64.95, Nov.; Super Nintendo - $64.95, Dec.

CHICAGO, Illinois-June 3, 1993--Undeniably the most famous soccer player in the
world, Pele is bringing his soccer skills and expertise to the Sega (tm)
Genesis (tm) and Super Nintendo ® this fall. Together with Accolade, Pele
has helped co-design PELE!, a revolutionary new sports simulation that will
appeal to soccer enthusiasts of all levels.

Vividly detailed graphics add excitement and realism as digitized players kick,
dive, and slide across the field. Lead a team of eleven players through over
30 games of league play to become the champions, and play against Pele and the
1962 Brazilian World Cup team. Each of the 40 European and Latin American
clubs (all modeled after Division 1 soccer clubs) comes with a rating (offense,
defense and speed) which will set the performance of each player on the team.

"I helped design the game, so you know it's realistic," said Pele. "I'm even
available throughout the game as a "coach". We use the attributes and charac-
teristics of real players, and feature games played in various kinds of
weather. You can even play as me in a special skills contest. The game's just
the way I like it - physical, exciting, and powerful."

"Everything about the game offers true-to-life soccer, from the crowd singing
European football "fight" songs, to a tilted 35 degree perspective of the play-
ing field that allows real TV-style coverage," said producer Robert Daly. "You
can even relive your exciting plays with an instant replay feature. PELE! will
set the standard for soccer games, not only in North America, but in Europe and
Latin America as well."

GO SPEED RACER GO!
CLASSIC CARTOON SPEEDS ITS WAY TO PERSONAL COMPUTERS

Category: Arcade/Racing

Price and Availability:
IBM PC and compatible computers - $59.95, September
Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo - First Quarter 1994

CHICAGO, Illinois-June 3, 1993--Speed Racer, one of the most successful
cartoons ever shown on American television, is making its way to the computer
entertainment industry. Accolade, a leading publisher of computer and video
game systems, is marking the debut of Speed Racer (tm) in "The Challenge of
Racer X (tm)" for IBM PC and compatible computers here at the Summer Consumer
Electronics Show. The product is scheduled to release in September for IBM PC
and compatible computers and in the first quarter of 1994 for the Sega (tm)
Genesis (tm) and Super Nintendo ®. Accolade welcomes visitors to their
booth, #7131, for a demonstration of Speed Racer in "The Challenge of Racer X"
and to enjoy the nostalgia of the familiar "Go Speed Racer (tm) Go" theme song.

True to the cartoon characters' personalities, players can assume the role of
the courageous teenage driver Speed Racer, racing the amazing Mach 5, or choose
to race as the mysterious Racer X and drive the Formula Race Car "The Shooting
Star." Ironically, Racer X is Speed's greatest competitor and secret
protector, and in reality is actually Rex Racer, Speed's older brother who now
works undercover as a top secret Interpol agent. To win the race, players must
match their skills and wits against many notorious villains including Captain
Terror, Snake Oiler, and the Gang of Assassins. Players will test their
driving skills on six race courses including Danger Pass, the Snake Track, and
the Valley of Destruction, each based on a different Speed Racer cartoon
episode.

Speed Racer's amazing Mach 5 is a supercharged stealth-mobile with more person-
ality and gadgets than any other car on the racing circuit. With a push of the
button, players can activate the "autojacks" to jump short distances at high
speeds, "belt tires" which are especially useful on oil slicks or slippery
terrain at high speeds, and "buzz saws" which prove the Mach 5 is a cut above
the rest for mowing down opponents and slashing through obstacles.

Speed Racer in "The Challenge of Racer X" will incorporate the personalities of
the major characters from the cartoon series including Speed Racer, his spunky
girlfriend Trixie; his little brother, Spridle; Speed's father and designer of
the amazing Mach 5, Pops Racer; and the mysterious Racer X. During each race,
players will see the animated faces and hear the digitized voices of the Speed
Racer characters as they cheer you on, comment on your progress, or alert you
of danger.

Speed Racer is a cartoon character that became an instant hit when it first
appeared on American television in 1967. Accolade has an exclusive, worldwide
long-term licensing agreement with Speed Racer Enterprises to develop and
publish computer and video games based on the Classic Speed Racer animated
series as well as on the New Adventures of Speed Racer animated series. The
classic "Speed Racer" series is now airing on MTV, and "The New Adventures of
Speed Racer," is slated to air in syndication this fall.

"Over 40 million fans grew up watching Speed Racer, and with the program airing
in syndication, we are very excited to introduce it to a brand new audience,"
said James Rocknowski, Vice President of Licensing for Speed Racer Enterprises.
"It naturally lends itself to the computer and video game arena and I'm pleased
Accolade will be bringing it to market so that Speed Racer fans everywhere can
experience the thrill of racing Speed Racer's incredible Mach 5."

Accolade is a leading worldwide developer, publisher and distributor of
entertainment software for PC compatible computers and leading video games
machines, including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System ®, Nintendo ®
Gameboy ® and Sega (tm) Genesis (tm).
