7TH LEVEL & MONTY PYTHON SET TO WASTE MORE OF YOUR TIME; The Quest for the Holy Grail Comes to Life on CD-ROM; Arthur and the boys are at it again!

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 1995--In the beginning there was the spoken word. In the middle came the Daguerreotype and the pomegranate phosphate. Somewhere near the end a small band of men in women's clothing perfected the art of the motion picture with the release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Today we stand poised on the brink of the latest development in the course of human events. While we're waiting for that to happen, 7th Level (NASDAQ: SEVL), those geniuses who brought mayhem and madness to your PC last year with the award-winning Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time are bringing the Quest for the Holy Grail to your computer.

King Arthur and his hardy band of Knights will run rampant on your computer in their never-ending Quest for the Holy Grail as they stumble through the Ancient English landscape. Fight monsters, burn witches, argue with disgruntled peasants and chat with the Lord God himself as you relive all your favorite moments from the classic film.

Using only the most inspirational and awe-inspiring moments of actual footage from the film as well as never-before-heard outtakes, this CD-ROM action-adventure game takes the player on a trek he or she will not soon forget. Not for a while, anyway. Thrilling escapades, harrowing puzzles and enchanting activities await the player down every road -- each designed to test one's skill, imagination and pain threshold. Keep tissues handy for the sappy parts.

The game features Terry Gilliam's animation from the original film, new illustrations and animation, a great deal of film footage and a moose.

"Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail combines a feature film quality with the unexpected twists which only Python can deliver," remarked George Grayson, 7th Level CEO and president. "The interactive game allows players to control the characters and create action and silliness that takes up where the movie leaves off."

"I like it be pretty good," said Kip.

Using its very own, very special and rather-technical-so-I-won't -go-into-it-here cutting-edge technology, 7th Level is blending traditional arcade-style games with an action adventure. Players will revel endlessly in stomach-cramping mirth as they criss-cross the countryside in search of the Holy Grail and encounter such games as Spank the Virgin and Black Knight Pac Man. Then they will revel a while longer as they rediscover some of their favorite Python characters, including the lovely and talented Bridgekeeper of Death, Patsy the Servant, Tim the Enchanter, the Three Headed Knight, The Virginal Sisters of Anthrax (yes, it's true) and others.

"Python lovers will bow to the masters of comedy after experiencing Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail," declared a reputable and perfectly unbiased party. "This game will complement the growing Monty Python CD-ROM collection. Well, after this game is released, there will be a collection."

As a result of having drawn the short straw, Eric Idle has been chosen to represent the famed comedy troupe as co-executive producer of the title.
