INTERPLAY FORMS DIVISION TO PRODUCE AD&D GAMES

May 11, 1995 -- Irvine, California -- Interplay Productions announced today
that will create an internal division to create games based on the
licensing agreement it signed with TSR, Inc. producers of the best-selling
line of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons games. Interplay owns the exclusive
license to produce all electronic entertainment games for TSR's Forgotten
Realms and Planescape product lines.

"TSR's fantasy games have captured the imagination of players around the
world," said Brian Fargo, president of Interplay. "We decided we must set
this up internally as its own division in order to produce the best games
possible that fans of AD&D will enjoy."

The new division will be lead by Mark O'Green, division director, and will
include over 50 artists, designers and programmers. The first products are
scheduled to be released in the third quarter of 1995 and will not only be
traditional role-playing/adventure games, but will also include strategy,
simulation and action games.

"Much of the success of the AD&D games is that they are highly coordinated
worlds," said O'Green. " Those worlds have a richness and depth that
provides gamers a great experience."

TSR is the world's largest manufacturer of role-playing adventure games and
books, and it produces the best-selling line of Advanced Dungeons &
Dragons games. More than 2 million copies of AD&D computer and video games
have been sold to date. Interplay's agreement allows them to produce
computer, home video and coin-operated games. Interplay expects the first
products to be released by fourth quarter 1995.
