MULTIMEDIA PUBLISHER ABC/EA HOME SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES NEW COMPANY NAME:
CREATIVE WONDERS

Joint Venture Between Capital Cities/ABC and Electronic Arts Also Announces
New Logo and Interactive Product Line-Up

May 2, 1995 -- San Mateo, CA--ABC/EA Home Software, a leading publisher of
quality family CD-ROM software, today announced its new name -- Creative
Wonders --and unveiled a new company logo at a press conference conducted
by Greg Bestick, president of the company, Stan McKee, chief financial
officer of Electronic Arts, and Patricia Vance, vice president of Capital
Cities/ABC Multimedia Group, at the company's headquarters here. In
addition, Creative Wonders disclosed its upcoming six-month multimedia
product release plans, including titles based on ABC programming content,
as well as a variety of specific co-marketing efforts.

These announcements follow the launch last December of the joint venture
between Capital Cities/ABC and Electronic Arts.

"In joining forces, both Electronic Arts and Capital Cities/ABC intended
the joint venture to develop a strong identity of its own, including a new
name, that would clearly reflect the quality product we produce," explains
Bestick. "The name Creative Wonders reflects the engaging experiences
found in each of our products - experiences that excite the emotions,
stimulate learning, and provide entertaining, yet valuable lessons."

Creative Wonders is committed to publishing CD-ROMs in three primary
categories: education, family reference, and children's entertainment. The
company plans to incorporate significant content from several ABC
programming areas including ABC News, ABC/Kane (non-fictional
nature-oriented programming), ABC Children's Entertainment, and other
operating units of the company.

Among the titles are three based on programs appearing on the ABC
Children's programing schedule for the fall: "Bump in the Night," "Free
Willy" and "Madeline and The Magnificent Puppet Show." In addition, it
will continue to develop original works as well as a line of Sesame Street
titles under its long-term exclusive partnership with Children's
Television Workshop.

Effective immediately, the Creative Wonders' catalog of over 25 products
will contain all of the tides previously released under the EA*Kids label.
Adding to its growing catalog, Creative Wonders plans to release six new
original titles by the holiday season: "Madeline and The Magnificent
Puppet Show;" two additional titles in its ABC World Reference line from
ABC News and ABC/Kane productions, two titles in the ABC Schoolhouse Rock
series; and "Elmo's Preschool," which marks the fourth product in the
Sesame Street CD-ROM Library. "Free Willy" and "Bump in the Night," and
two more Schoolhouse Rock titles will be available in early 1996. "Sesame
Street: Letters" and "Sesame Street: Let's Make A Word!" were shipped in
April.

Capital Cities/ABC is contributing to a variety of co-marketing programs.
For instance, Creative Wonders products will be available to consumers
through ABC Online on America Online. A second planned co-marketing effort
involves ABC Schoolhouse Rock property--a trailer for Creative Wonders'
Schoolhouse Rock CD-ROM titles will appear on all of Schoolhouse Rock
videos on the ABC Video label when released this fall.

Creative Wonders will make its trade show debut at the upcoming Electronic
Entertainment Expo (referred to as E3) in Los Angeles, where it will be
demonstrating many of its upcoming titles. The booth number at E3 is 563.
