THE MAGICAL WORLD OF XANTH NOW ON MULTIMEDIA

CHANTILLY, VA, May 20, 1994--Legend Entertainment Company today announced
the release of Companions of Xanth for CD-ROM. This new computer game is
based on Piers Anthony's novel, "Demons Don't Dream," the sixteenth in the
NY Times best-selling series of Xanth novels. The series has sold over
eight million copies in the US alone and has been translated the world
over. Companions of Xanth marks the first time that this magical realm has
been licensed for interactive media.

A technological breakthrough for Legend Entertainment, Companions of Xanth
features digitized audio voices for over 30 characters. "The voices are
wonderfully evocative and add a new dimension of realism to the game,"
said Bob Bates, President of Legend Entertainment. "As a player you
absolutely feel that you are in Xanth, exploring Piers Anthony's magical
world and interacting with the characters."

Game designer Michael Lindner hired a professional cast to bring the famous
characters to life. Lindner stated, "We wanted to capture Piers Anthony's
world of magical creatures, with all the puns and humor that have
delighted Xanth fans through the years."

The novel "Demons Don't Dream" opens with a teenage boy playing a computer
game about Xanth. He becomes engrossed in the game and suddenly finds that
he has physically entered the magical world. Legend kept the "game within
a game" structure for the start of their game, but thereafter the plot
takes a different turn and the player must progress through the story by
solving puzzles. According to Piers Anthony, the game beautifully captures
the magical world of Xanth."

In addition to digitized audio voices, Companions of Xanth also features a
point-and-click interface designed for intuitive and efficient game play,
animated graphics, an original musical score and sound effects. A free
copy of the novel, "Demons Don't Dream" by Piers Anthony is packaged in
each game box.
