-- Stephan Johansson, 1992 IndyCar Rookie Of The Year

Somerville, Massachusetts, March 15, 1994 - INDYCAR RACING, published by
Papyrus Publishing, Inc., captured the Software Publishers Association's
prestigious Excellence in Software Award for Best Sports Program. The
"Codie" award is one of several others garnered by this auto racing
simulation since its release in November 1993, including:

Designed to accurately reproduce the complete IndyCar racing experience,
INDYCAR RACING provides the most realistic visual effects and car handling
available on personal computers. The product is available worldwide
through retail outlets.

INDYCAR RACING includes Papyrus' proprietary 3-D modeling engine,
SuperTexture, which creates accurate 3-D graphics in real time, including
car decals, trackside billboards, and road and grass detail based on
actual photographic images from IndyCar races.

Tony Bettenhausen, Owner/Driver of Bettenhausen Motorsports, describes the
simulation as, "...a premier auto racing simulation. From the billboards
along the track fence, to the cars, to the background scenery, I recognize
and felt every turn as I raced around the Michigan International
Speedway."

Stefan Johansson, 1992 IndyCar Rookie of the Year, states, "Papyrus has
created a most realistic IndyCar racing experience. I felt the speed, the
turns and the embankments. It was the next best thing to sitting in a real
IndyCar and racing at 200 mph."

The Software Publishers Association (SPA), the primary trade association of
the personal computer software industry, considers its awards the "Oscars"
of the software industry. The awards are voted by SPA's membership,
comprising of over 1000 software firms. "The level of entries in the 1994
Codie Awards certainly bodes well for the software industry and for the
nation as a whole," says Ken Wasch, Executive Director of the SPA. "The
innovation, intelligence and sheer imagination demonstrated in the
Codie-winning products is simply astonishing. These programs all enhance
the way we work, live and learn."
