OSCAR WILDE'S CLASSIC FAIRY TALE BECOMES AN INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA
STORYBOOK

Sanctuary Woods Ships The Selfish Giant for Mac and MPC

SAN MATEO, Calif., September 27, 1993--Sanctuary Woods (NASDAQ: SWMCF; VSE:
SWD.V) will begin shipping Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant, the second
CD-ROM title in its I-tales Collection of classic and original interactive
multimedia storybooks from famous authors, artists and storytellers.
Created for children age 3 and up, Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant
combines a well-known fairy tale, artwork by children's book illustrator
P. Craig Russell and multimedia extras, such as animation, interesting
facts and fun songs and games, to create an entertaining and educational
interactive story experience.

The Selfish Giant is the story of a giant with a beautiful garden where
children love to play. One day the selfish giant banishes children from
the garden, and from that day forward, only the chilly snow, frost, hail
and the North Wind play there; the other seasons pass him by because of
his selfishness.

The Selfish Giant enables children to read the tale aloud, choose to have a
"giant's" voice narrate, play one of the hidden games or learn more about
the story's characters and setting. In the Mac version, each word is
highlighted along with the narration to enable younger children to work on
their reading skills. The Selfish Giant also includes definitions of many
nouns and adjectives in the story, couched in terms that children can
understand. Among the several game activities, this CD-ROM includes an
interactive coloring book Scoozle the Giant--a game that enables children
to create faces by combining ears, noses, mustaches etc.--and a
build-a-castle activity.

Sanctuary Woods' imagineers enhance Mr. Russell's illustrations with more
than 100 digitized pictures and animations, professional voice-overs,
"digital video" movies, sound effects and original music. Kids can listen
to narration and children playing in the garden and sing along with
several specially written songs. Detailed information on giants, castles,
the garden's flowers and many inhabitants can be accessed by a simple
mouse click.
