NEW BRIDGE GAME FOR WINDOWS NOW SHIPPING

Grand Rapids, MI -- MVP Software announces that Lifestyle Software Group
has released Eddie Kantar Bridge Companion for Windows, featuring the work
of the world-renowned author and syndicated columnist. Mr. Kantar has a
worldwide reputation as a master teacher of Bridge, and the game includes
50 entertaining and instructive interactive tutorial hands based on his
writings. The game was developed by MVP and is published by Lifestyle.

The artificial intelligence algorithm in Eddie Kantar's Bridge Companion
for Windows is taken from the award-winning DOS game MVP Bridge. However,
not only has it been enhanced in the new product, but MVP added several
new features not found in the DOS version.

"When we began this project I had never played Bridge," said Dave Snyder of
MVP, producer of the game. "Steve Estvanik, who developed the AI engine
used in the game, is a very good player, but I had no idea how to play. I
learned the game by playing various versions of the program as we went
through the development process. It was the most fun I've ever had testing
a game in development. Although now I certainly don't rate as an expert
Bridge player, I think I play a representative game."

A fully-playable "test drive" version of the game is available as
shareware. Called MVP Bridge for Windows, the test drive version plays
Rubber Bridge using Goren bidding rules. Although the Eddie Kantar game
offers many additional options, including Standard American bidding,
Duplicate play, Chicago scoring, and more bidding conventions, the test
drive version is fully functional.

As with most shareware, users are free to evaluate MVP Bridge for Windows.
If they like it they register by purchasing the Eddie Kantar game. Unlike
most shareware, however, there is no separate purchase option for MVP
Bridge for Windows. Users may purchase the Eddie Kantar game directly from
MVP at a substantial savings.

MVP Bridge for Windows can be downloaded from any of the major online
services or free on the first call from Exec-PC, the world's largest BBS.
Call the BBS at (414) 789-4360 with your modem set at N,8,1. Download the
WINBR.ZIP file from MVP's free file section.
