TAKE TO THE SKIES AND EXPLORE THE HIDDEN WORLDS

SAN MATEO, California, May 8, 1995 -- Bullfrog Productions presents The
Hidden Worlds, the long-awaited add-on disk to their award-winning title
Magic Carpet. In The Hidden Worlds, the successful simulation of the
realistic sensation of flight experienced in the original Magic Carpet has
been made even faster and more effectual with a powerful upgrade.

Magic Carpet's combination of strategy, intense action, and the ability to
fly, delivered a new high in addictive gameplay, making it the number one
selling title in the UK for the 1994 Christmas period. To date, Magic
Carpet has already won 14 major industry awards worldwide, including 1994
Game of the Year in the UK, France, and Germany at the recent European
trade show, ECTS, this past March. Bullfrog and it's products have already
amassed over 80 awards in their eight year history including 1994
Developer of the Year, also at ECTS.

In Magic Carpet, the player takes on the role of a carpet-flying wizard
whose mission it is to restore each of 50 shattered worlds. Strategy and
an arsenal of spells are used to battle opponents and to collect the
manna, or power, needed to complete this task.

In addition to the original 50, The Hidden Worlds now adds 35 newly
discovered worlds -- 25 single-player and 10 new multi-player -- for the
wizard to restore. To do this, the original array of spells are now more
powerful, and a new Homing Meteor spell has been added; this one never
misses it's target. To balance the enhanced power of the spells, the
restoration of the hidden worlds is now more challenging, and the
opponents tougher and more intelligent.

As always, Bullfrog's deep attention to detail once again manifests itself
in The Hidden Worlds. Shadows are cast from all objects and creatures,
rotating and lengthening as the days progress. The ocean tides are
controlled by the moon's cycles, and the water reflections distort and
smooth with the water's flow.

Other options originating with Magic Carpet, include multiple resolution
modes for high-speed performance, VR headset support, 3D glasses, and
Stereogram imaging. The multi-player option allows up to eight players to
compete simultaneously.

The Hidden Worlds requires the Magic Carpet original program to run, and is
published by Electronic Arts.
