ELECTRONIC ARTS LAUNCHES WEB HOME PAGE:
HOT NEW SITE IS   http://www.ea.com

SAN MATEO, Calif., May 8, 1995 -- Electronic Arts (Nasdaq:ERTS), a leading
global interactive entertainment software company, today announced the
debut of its Home Page on the World Wide Web. EA's Web site features audio
and video clips, along with downloadable product demos for a sample of the
latest interactive entertainment software from Electronic Arts.

Browsers on the World Wide Web will be able to shop for software titles and
custom Electronic Arts clothing on-line at the EA Store. EA has developed
a unique customer identification system that allows Web users to order
products without sending their credit card numbers over the Internet.
"We've taken extra measures to keep customer credit card information
behind our 'fire wall,' and off the Net," stated Lisa Rodrigues, EA's
Manager of Online Services.

Another unique feature of EA's Web site is the interactive entertainment
industry's first on-line product ratings. Located at
http://www.ea.com/ratings.html, Electronic Arts has provided information
on the ratings of all its products shipped since December 1994 when the
Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA) rating system began.
Rodrigues noted, "Since Electronic Arts was one of the leaders in
establishing an industry-wide rating system, we felt it was important that
consumers had access to this information on line, not just in the
stores."

Electronic Arts supports the broadest array of platforms in the interactive
entertainment industry. As a result, the company"s Web site has pages for
products available on 32-bit advanced entertainment systems like Sony
PlayStation, Sega Saturn and 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, IBM-compatible
PCs and Macintosh computers, as well as dedicated game machines such as
Sega Genesis and Super NES.

EA's customer support page provides answers to frequently asked questions
(so-called FAQs) in an on-line answer book for customer service queries.
