NOVELL ANNOUNCES INTERACTIVE ADVENTURE GAME

Adventure Takes Users to Secret Government Location to Uncover Mystery

LOS ANGELES -- May 11, 1995 -- Novell, Inc. today announced a new
interactive adventure game on CD-ROM, code-named Entry Denied, that
involves investigative reporting and government secrets. The new
adventure, scheduled to ship in September, is based around the theory of a
top-secret government installation in the Nevada desert, known as Area 51,
that houses a wealth of hidden knowledge about UFOs and
extraterrestrials.

In the adventure, the player is an investigative reporter searching out
secret government programs. In a late-night phone call from The Leak, the
player is tipped off to suspicious activity in the Nevada desert and goes
to Niles, Nevada with a couple of names, a phone number and a Post Office
Box key.

Niles, Nevada, is a fictional, sleepy desert town and the closest inhabited
area to Area 51. The locals have seen a lot but will only talk if the time
and the approach is right. In Niles, players must follow leads, search for
information, sort out truth and misinformation and avoid surveillance. The
player will be watched closely by security forces, suspicious locals and
the "Men in Black."

The events of the game are determined by the player's actions. Game
development includes an event scheduler, software functionality that
schedules events to occur at some point in the future, depending on the
interaction of the player with other characters or situations.

Players can infiltrate the government area based on information they gather
throughout the game. They will encounter shifty characters, a twisting and
mysterious plot and the power of hidden government. Players will also face
high-tech military programs, Ufology, covert government operations, secret
weapons and extraterrestrials.

Players must substantiate their evidence on Area 51, break the story before
rival reporters and live to publish their story. Consequences of failure
range from humiliation and a ruined professional career to government
sanctioned REMOVAL. If players are successful, they may win a Pulitzer
prize or gain a side bar in the National Enquirer -- depending on their
efforts.

The interactive adventure has four main plots for players to focus on.
Players must gather evidence of government secrecy and violation of the
constitution, gather evidence the government is constructing a secret
aircraft, establish conclusive contact with extraterrestrials, and
determine the identity of The Leak. In addition to the four main plots in
the game, a number of sub-plots are included and will randomly be
introduced in any game at anytime.

The game is designed to be played again and again with many random events,
puzzles and codes at all levels of game play. The title was developed
exclusively for Novell's Consumer Division by the Judson Rosebush
Company.
