EIDOS INTERACTIVE TO RELEASE AN EXPERT ADD ON PACK TO ITS MEGA HIT TITLE TOMB RAIDER

Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business to be available this summer

San Francisco, CA, March 26, 1997 -- Eidos Interactive, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eidos plc (NASDAQ: EIDSY), a developer and publisher of entertainment software products, announced today the forthcoming release of Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business, an add on pack for owners of the original Tomb Raider for PC CD-ROM. Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business will include two additional expert levels, the entire library of high-resolution Lara Croft images, and previewable materials on the much anticipated Tomb Raider 2.

Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business starts gamers where they left off in the original. Gamers will once again take control of the beautiful adventurer, Lara Croft, in her quest to destroy the remaining hatchery of Atlantean pods containing vicious alien beasts previously encountered in the Atlantis levels. The massive 3D expert levels will test the skills of the player with additional battles, puzzle solving, and complex maneuvering of Lara Croft.

"The high demand from the public for more Tomb Raider levels has been overwhelming," said Mike McGarvey, CEO of Eidos Interactive. "In Unfinished Business, gamers get more of the exciting gameplay of Tomb Raider at a great price."

Tomb Raider is a state-of-the-art, third person perspective action-adventure game that takes place in a series of massive real-time 3D environments. It combines action, puzzle, and adventure game elements within 15 massive 3D levels accompanied by visually stunning, action-packed full motion video sequences that provide valuable clues and information about the adventures that lie ahead. Since its November release, Tomb Raider has achieved record sales and received worldwide praise from the editorial community, including a number of Game of the Year awards from top industry trade publications.

Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business is an add-on pack for owners of the PC CD-ROM version of Tomb Raider and is expected to be available this summer for approximately $19.95.
