          ** Atari Jaguar Poised to Pounce Nationally in 1994 **

    Atari Corp. also announced this week that the company plans to roll
 out Jaguar(TM) -- the world's first 64-bit interactive multimedia home
 entertainment system -- in the first half of 1994. In addition, Jaguar
 and its first four software titles, "Cybermorph," "Raiden, " "Evolution
 Dino-Dudes" and "Crescent Galaxy," will continue to ship steadily to
 stores in New York and San Francisco.

    "We look forward to extending Jaguar's success in the New York and
 San Francisco markets by implementing a nationwide rollout of the pro-
 duct in 1994, " said Sam Tramiel, president of Atari. "What is espec-
 ially rewarding is customer response to Jaguar -- it's great to see how
 people react to the system. We are committed to making Jaguar the
 world's number one game platform and this is a powerful start."

    "Sales of the Jaguar couldn't better. All of our units sold out in
 one day and we've got a list of more than 100 people waiting for our
 next shipment," said Gary Jockers, general manager, FAO Schwarz, San

 Francisco. "The new titles we received are selling out as fast as the
 systems. Our customers are clamoring to get these new games. Now that
 we've got all of the current game titles available for Jaguar, the
 demand is only increasing for more units."

    Atari Jaguar is the world's first 64-bit interactive multimedia home
 entertainment system and is the only video game system manufactured in
 the United States. Atari expect to deliver its Jaguar CD-peripheral in
 the second half of 1994 at a suggested retail price of $200.
