**Electronic Arts Ships Cybertiger Golf Video Game

Arcade Style Golf Game Tees Off with Tiger Woods and Leaves Reality Behind**

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., October 28, 1999 - Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS), the world s largest interactive entertainment software company, today announced it shipped CyberTiger, the newest game from the Electronic Arts/PGA TOUR line of golf products. Focusing on golf s lighter side, CyberTiger for the PlayStation game console is a fast-paced, arcade-style video game that leaves the traditional rules of golf behind. Taking lessons from PGA TOUR star Tiger Woods, Electronic Arts developed CyberTiger to appeal to young, action-oriented game players with its cartoon graphics, fantasy golf courses and easy-to-use controls.

When I play in a PGA TOUR tournament, golf is fairly serious, so I like that CyberTiger focuses on fun, said Tiger Woods. CyberTiger is the perfect game for me to show my buddies just who has the best gaming skills. It s fun earning special power-ups like a super ball to hit 450-yard drives or a ghost ball to hit through a tree branch. Sometimes I wish I had these power-up golf balls in my real golf bag!

Cyber golfers can play four fantasy golf courses modeled after real PGA TOUR venues, as well as Spyglass Hill Golf Course in Pebble Beach, California. Throughout the game, players can unlock hidden characters, special skills, trick shots and super-charged golf clubs. Consumers with a Dual Shock analog gamepad can crush the ball in real-time using the joystick. Real-time shot shaping adds a whole new dimension to golf by allowing golfers to add extra sidespin and backspin to their shots.

Anytime you work with someone like Tiger Woods, who knows a tremendous amount about golf and video games, great things are bound to happen, said Richard Hilleman vice president and executive producer at Electronic Arts. Tiger clearly understands what makes games fun to play. CyberTiger has a huge amount of gaming variety. You can challenge a buddy at the shooting gallery, grow your golfing character from a child, to a teen, to an adult or choose to play a more traditional stroke play tournament. We have stayed true to our design vision of creating a golf game that takes a playful step beyond reality and delivers surprises at every turn.

CyberTiger for the PlayStation supports the Dual Shock controller that gives force feedback on all the big shots. The game is available for US $39.95. CyberTiger carries an ESRB rating of E (Everyone). A Nintendo 64 version of CyberTiger will be available in the winter of 2000. Consumers may purchase the game directly at the EA Store (www.ea.com/store) or by dialing 800.245.4525 or 650.628.1500.
