ACCOLADE TEAMS WITH BETTY CROCKER AND PILLSBURY FOR NATIONAL BALLZ
PROMOTIONS

August 16, 1994 -- Accolade, Inc., one of the world's leading interactive
entertainment publishers today announced two joint consumer promotions
with Betty Crocker and Pillsbury, two household names in the packaged
foods market. Both promotions offer rebates off Ballz, Accolade's new 3-D
fighting video game scheduled for release this fall for the Sega Genesis
and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

The promotion with Betty Betty Crocker aligns Ballz with the chewy fruit
snack "Gushers". Beginning mid-October, 5 million packages of Gushers will
carry a $5.00 rebate offer towards the purchase of Ballz. This promotion
will run through December.

The second promotion is with Pillsbury in Canada in which a $5.00 rebate
will be advertised on 500,000 Pepperoni and Deluxe 5-inch pizza boxes. The
rebate is good towards the purchase of Ballz, Zero Tolerance, a
first-person perspective fighting game with 3-D realism, or Bubsy II, an
interactive cartoon video game starring Bubsy Bobcat. The promotion will
run November and December.

Ballz is the first truly 3-D fighting game for 16-bit video systems. It
features a hilarious line-up of 16 unique characters and bosses that are
constructed from combinations of colorful and differently-sized balls.
Each character has 15-20 different and special fighting moves, three times
more than flat 2-D fighting games. This fun, irreverent, one or two player
game, is a bruising, amusing "brawl for all," pitting the characters and
their outrageous "moves with attitude" against each other. Ballz will be
available in October for the Sega Genesis and in November for the Super
Nintendo Entertainment System. Both versions will carry a suggested retail
price of $59.95.
