Bullfrog presents SYNDICATE
Now Available for Macintosh

SAN MATEO, Calif., May 27, 1994 -- Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS), a global
leader in interactive entertainment, has announced the release of
Syndicate for the Macintosh. The original IBM version of Syndicate was
awarded the 1993 "Special Achievement in Innovative Design" by Game
Players PC Entertainment magazine.

The setting for Syndicate is a grim and dangerous future world sometime
after the Corporation Wars. The world's multinational corporations grew to
such an extent that their power began to rival that of small countries.
Before long the corporations owned the small countries and corporate
influence was felt at the highest level of world government. Then they
developed the CHIP...

The CHIP was a technological revolution that was better than any drug.
Inserted into the head, a CHIP could alter a person's perception of the
outside world, and give hope to the masses by numbing their senses to the
misery and squalor surrounding them. For example, a person living on the
49th floor of the grimiest city apartment block could buy a 'Mansion CHIP'
which, once inserted would make him immediately believe he was living in
the grandest, most expensive, mansion! Why change your environment, when
you can change your mind' ran the company slogan. The only problem was
that the CHIP had a ' back door', and like any new and potent drug -
control of the CHIP meant control of the people. Before long the
corporations were at war with each other, battling to monopolize CHIP
manufacture and toppling nations and governments in the process.

The greed of the corporations began attracting dangerous criminal elements
and soon the crime Syndicates had infiltrated the corporate boardrooms and
had become the controlling force all over the globe. Using custom built
cyborg-agents, corporate bureaucrats hunt down rivals and battle each
other for ultimate control of the entire globe.

In one such Syndicate, the player takes the role of a young executive who
is looking to make a name for himself. From his control platform in an
airship high above the city, he observes as his agents controlled by CHIP
technology spread the shadow of Syndicate terror in a bid to conquer
territory after territory, ousting the rival Syndicates and striving for
world domination.

From the stunningly atmospheric intro sequence with its state of the art,
3D-rendered graphics, the player realizes that Bullfrog has once again
created an original and stimulating experience.

Having customized his corporate logo, the player is faced with over fifty
elaborate missions - each set in a living city alive with intelligent men
and women, cars and commuter trains, rival agents, and law enforcement
forces. Within this environment the player has complete freedom to
perpetrate the nefarious deeds of the Syndicate! Succeed in conquering a
territory and he can raise taxes to fund research and development into
more advanced weaponary and cybernetic body parts. Raise taxes too far and
the territory will become ripe for insurrection and defection to a rival
Syndicate.

With the use of new graphic technology -- Syndicate has had more full time
dedicated graphic artists than all Bullfrogs previous projects put
together -- and realistic sound effects including music and digitized
speech, Syndicate is Bullfrog's most unique title to date! Syndicate for
the Mac is priced at $59.95.
