Action With Thrilling Visuals

     REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 2, 1998--

     Award-Winning International Best-Seller for PC and the

     The 3DO Company (NASDAQ:THDO) today began domestic shipment of TOCA(TM)
(Touring Car Association) Championship Racing(TM), a white-knuckle,
international racing experience for the PC and PlayStation(R) game console
designed and developed by Codemasters.

     Highly-acclaimed in Europe, TOCA Championship Racing delivers authentic
international race-car driving by recreating the actual cars and tracks of the

wheel of official European race cars including the Audi A4, Ford Mondeo, Honda
Accord, Nissan Primera, Peugeot 406, Renault Laguna, Vauxhall Vectra and the

     As the flag drops in either single race or championship mode, the
challenging racetracks of the United Kingdom unfold, including Donington Park,
Silverstone, Thruxton, Brands Hatch Indy, Oulton Park Fosters, Croft,
Knockhill and Snetterton.

     Each high-resolution car rendition is an authentic model of the actual
touring vehicle, complete with realistic impacts, crashes and spin-outs.
Realistic suspension dynamics combined with wheel spin, varied traction, and
responsive car handling make players feel as if they're flying around the
featured tracks at 140 mph.

competition in stunning detail," said Trip Hawkins, founder and CEO of The 3DO
Company. "TOCA Championship Racing integrates beautiful and rigorous track
landscapes with superbly designed cars, creating the sights and sounds of auto
racing in a strikingly lifelike environment."
