Capitol Multimedia CD releases NFL Football Trivia Challenge & MegaMaze(TM) on CD-ROM.

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 28, 1994--Capitol Multimedia Inc. (NASDAQ: CDIM, CDIMW), said today it has launched two additional PC CD-ROM titles.

Capitol said the two new titles, NFL Football Trivia Challenge and MegaMaze(TM), are being distributed on the company's CapDisc label by a nationwide network of independent dealers including Ingram Micro Inc.; Ingram Book Co.; Abco Distributors; Beamscope; and American Software and Hardware Distributors Inc. NFL Football Trivia Challenge, released in November 1994, is already available in many retail software outlets, and MegaMaze(TM) should be available in stores by January 1995.

According to Robert I. Bogin, Capitol Multimedia president and CEO, "By offering titles on the PC CD-ROM platform, we can reach a potential audience currently estimated to be around 6 million multimedia PC home users" (source: Link Resources).

He said "One of our strategies for this vast but crowded marketplace is to select titles that have been well received on other platforms." Bogin stated that NFL Football Trivia Challenge, which features Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshire, has already won a Gold Medal as the No. 1 title of the year on the CD-i format, and that MegaMaze(TM) has been rated "Outstanding" by Games Magazine, and was exhibited this summer by the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.

In NFL Football Trivia Challenge, players choose a team from either the AFC or the NFC and gain yardage by correctly answering multiple choice questions. The game contains over 1,500 NFL approved questions accompanied by nearly an hour of motion video and 1,200 still photographs from the archives of NFL Films and Properties. NFL Football Trivia Challenge is currently available on CD-i, PC CD-ROM, and is scheduled for release on Sega CD(TM) in January 1995.

MegaMaze(TM), produced in cooperation with Axis Interactive features more than 200 different mazes created by world renowned maze designer Dave Phillips. The mazes are presented in 90 skill levels, from the relatively simple to the mind-boggling complex, making each maze more challenging than the last. MegaMaze(TM) is currently available on CD-i as well as PC CD-ROM.

Capitol Multimedia is a leading developer and publisher of CD-based interactive entertainment software, and publishes titles for CD-i, CD-ROM, Sega CD(TM) and beginning in 1995, Sega 32X CD(TM) platforms.

In addition to its consumer titles, the company is working with Bell Atlantic to launch InfoTravel(TM), a new interactive yellow page service that offers hotel guests on-line transaction capabilities through state of the art full motion graphics and sound in a yellow pages directory format. Bell Atlantic has announced the roll-out of InfoTravel(TM) to major market sites in 1995, beginning with four Marriott and two Hilton Hotels in the Washington D.C. area.
