SAN JOSE, Calif.- MARCH 20, 1995--There has never been a baseball game
comprised entirely of real video footage...until now. Sport Accolade, a
leading publisher of entertainment interactive software, today announced a
June release of All-Star Baseball for PC CD-ROM computers. True to its
name, All-Star Baseball is officially licensed by Major League Baseball
Properties (MLB) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA
), and hosts a line up of baseball stars based on an AllStar Game.
All-Star Baseball is comprised of both actual All-Star game footage and
custom shot football to deliver the look and feel of a televised baseball
game. Sportscaster Al Michaels provides hours of seamless color commentary
including descriptions of on-field action and profiles on the MLB players'
careers. All-Star Baseball will carry at a suggested retail price of
$69.95.

To create All-Star Baseball, Sport Accolade, in conjunction with Blank,
Berlyn & Co., Major League Baseball Properties and the Arizona Fall
League, filmed Fall League Players in real MLB uniforms portraying real
players. The production filmed all possible plays and variations that can
occur in a major league baseball game. The week long film production was
held in December at the Peoria Stadium in Peoria, Arizona, home of Spring
training for the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres.

"Baseball fans will find All-Star Baseball to be the closest thing possible
to coaching a real Major League Baseball game," said Todd Thorson, the
producer of the game. "We outfitted our Fall League Players with real MLB
uniforms, and cast each of them according to body type and abilities to
portray a specific professional star. In no time, the players were acting
the part of the Major Leaguers, even imitating signature styles and
celebrity status. I believe this All-Star quality will come through in the
game," concluded Thorson.

All-Star Baseball is geared to re-create the experience of coaching a live
baseball game on television. In the game, up to two players act as
"coaches" calling the type of pitch and its placement. Gamers can make
player substitutions, set defensive strategies, fielding positions, set
line-ups and pinch hitters and send in signals to steal, hit and run. With
the interactive TV-style interface, players will have the chance to review
Major League team and Player stats plus view highlights of video clips
from MLB teams.
