               DEBUTS AT THE CONSUMER ELECTRONIC SHOW

        CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW, Chicago, June 23, 1994-MicroProse
        Software, a division of Spectrum HoloByte, Inc. (NASDAQ:
        SBYT), will debut its recent release, X-Com UFO Defense.

        "This is an addictive strategy game that pits you against
        aliens terrorizing the Earth," said Carl Knoch, product
        manager. "You must command groups of scientists, engineers
        and soldiers as well as develop a strategy to ensure human
        survival."

        As commander of X-COM, which is a covert organization formed
        by the world's governments to investigate and defeat the
        alien invasion, you:
          
          o Intercept UFOs as they sweep across the Earth
          o Track all alien activity on the Geoscope rotating globe
             display
          o Plan a strategy for research and manufacture of
             captured technologies
          o Take charge of tactical operations in the 3-D isometric
             Battlescope display
          o Investigate UFO crash sites and alien bases
          o Monitor the political situation

        "To really see the aliens come to life, turn off the lights
        because the bold colors and graphics show up even more,"
        said Knoch.
