MAGIC CARPET

SAN MATEO, Calif., January 7, 1995 -- The fastest flight experience yet has
been created by industry giant, Bullfrog -- Magic Carpet combines a highly
original scenario with intense non-stop action and strategy to deliver a
new high in addictive game play. Gamers have long known Bullfrog for
creating ground-breaking titles and the release of Magic Carpet will
surpass even their wildest dreams.

The instantaneous creation of craters running thousands of feet into the
earth, or a giant volcano rising out of the ground, has to be seen to be
believed. The award-winning creators of Populous PowerMonger, Syndicate,
and Theme Park, have expertly combined real-time textured landscape
manipulation, an incredibly fast flight engine, and exquisite fractal
graphics in over 50 levels of seamless, controlled flight.

Add to this Bullfrog's incredible attention to detail and a true world
emerges. 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. No detail has been overlooked in this huge, detailed
computer world.

The multi-player option allows up to eight players to compete
simultaneously. As a wizard, there are up to 24 potent spells at their
disposal, including volcanoes, fire balls, earthquakes, craters, and
lightning to use against over a dozen adversaries like killer bees, giant
sand crabs, airworms, and firebreathing dragons.

Other options include multiple resolution modes for high-speed performance,
VR headset support, 3D glasses, and Stereogram imaging to put you in the
middle of the action like never before.

With Magic Carpet, Bullfrog continues it's tradition of unique and
extraordinary story lines -- powerful magic has blown the planet into 50
hostile realms, scattering and transforming the earth's life energy. The
player must battle creatures, as well as other wizards, in an attempt to
restore the world.

Strategy and action can be used by the wizard in any combination to achieve
this goal, but creatures and other players (whether computer or actual)
may catch on to your-behavior and use it against you.

While fighting off the challenges of your rivals, you must also collect and
store the manna (power) which can be found on every level -- this is the
real key to absolute power. To keep your manna safe from the clutches of
other wizards, you erect your own fortresses to secure it.

Magic Carpet is published by Electronic Arts for IBM PC-CD and compatibles
and is available now.
