August 23, 1992 -- BURBANK, Calif. -- Buena Vista Software today released
the first of its premiere lineup of software titles with the shipping of
Heaven & Earth: A Dazzling Journey for the Mind. Designed by the people
who developed Ishido and Shanghai, this game will challenge the player's
skill, concentration and intellect, and is now available for MSDOS
personal computers and laptops.

"Buena Vista Software is now delivering what we had envisioned, a line of
products spanning the entertainment software field and stretching the
boundaries," said Joe Adney, marketing manger for Buena Vista Software.
"We are very pleased that a mass appeal product like Heaven & Earth will
introduce computer gamers to Buena Vista Software ."

Heaven & Earth is divided into three different entertainment segments, each
with their own particular challenge. The Heaven & Earth card game,
inspired by the Japanese card game Hanafuda, is played with 48 cards,
including special phenomenon cards with sound effects and animation, in 12
suits with four cards each. The Pendulum is a series of 24 animated
simulations that provide a hypnotic, relaxing diversion. The Illusions
contains 12 types of brain teasers and puzzles, on four levels, combining
to form over 575 challenges.

Each game of Heaven & Earth can be played independently or can be combined
to form a fourth game..."The Pilgrimage" to Shambala. This journey for the
mind, soul and body melds aspects of the cards, illusions and pendulum in
a journey of 108 steps.

Heaven & Earth also supports gray scale for laptop computers in addition to
featuring high resolution VGA graphics. Heaven & Earth will support a wide
variety of sound standards including The Sound Source and Sound Blaster.
