EA SPORTS SIGNS COACHING GENIUS BILL WALSH TO CO-DESIGN UPCOMING COLLEGE
FOOTBALL GAME

CHICAGO, IL, June 3, 1993 - EA SPORTS (Electronic Arts, NASDAQ: ERTS)
recently announced the signing of Bill Walsh to collaborate on the
upcoming Sega Genesis game, Bill Walsh College Football. The game is
scheduled for release in August.

Walsh, clearly one of the most successful coaches of all time, has won at
every level from high school to pro. Walsh walked away from coaching pro
football after unprecedented success because of his love for the college
game.

Bill Walsh College Football is the latest product from EA SPORTS, a leading
publisher of sports video games. Walsh, who coached the San Francisco
49ers to three Super Bowl titles, has just finished a promising season as
Head Coach for the Stanford University Cardinal.

"Bill Walsh will be extensively involved in the game development process,
ranging from giving scouting reports on last year's top 24 teams,
including Stanford, to devising play-calling strategies and scripts, and
offering playbook analysis," said Scott Orr, executive producer for EA
SPORTS. "The plan is to put Walsh's unique teaching philosophy and
personality into the game."

"Walsh's reputation and focus on teaching were also important to us in that
we want College Football and future EA SPORTS games to teach kids about
sports in addition to being a lot of fun to play," added Orr.

Orr and his development team have designed Bul Walsh College Football so
that players will be able to study Walsh's complex strategies, then use
them against 48 of the best teams in college football. Play in the snow,
rain, and sun with the '92 champions from Alabama, or choose classic teams
like Michigan of '85 and Nebraska of '83.

The game includes a low, on-field perspective that puts players in the
middle of the action. Reverse-angle instant replay, customized audibles,
and play-call mode options give players more control than any other
football game on the market. On-field animations and "stadium cams"
capture all the excitement and drama of college football.

"This is a very exciting game," commented Walsh. "You can be a novice at
football and get right into it, or if you're an absolute expert you can
apply that expertise as you play the game. Bill Walsh College Football
gives every fan something they can really enjoy."

Walsh joins a prestigious lineup of EA SPORTS licenses that include Michael
Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, John Madden, Tony La Russa, PGA TOUR, MLBPA,
NHLPA, NHL, NBA, and the NFL.
