SPECIAL TO OS/2 WORLD, July 17, 1995 -- MSR Development Corporation announced today
Microlearn OS/2 Game PackVolume II, a collection of eight-arcade style games designed
specifically for the OS/2 operating system. It will be available in August 1995 with a suggested list
price of $64.95.
With this introduction, MSR is expanding its charter beyond that of a specialty utility
developer by addressing the entire OS/2 market as a publisher/developer, stated Dudley
Westlake, executive vice president of MSR Development Corporation. Microlearn OS/2 Game
PackVolume II is the first of a family of entertainment products planned by the company.
Each game presents a unique challenge with multiple levels of difficulty which are
customizable by the players. Nordic characters Thor and Karin serve as hosts for the games with
friendly on-line help, playing tips and even a few cheat secrets.
Individual games include MirrorMan, where objects move as a mirror image to each other;
ML Memory, a game of concentration by matching pairs; RockBlot, a most advanced digger
robot forages for treasure controlled by tunneling ; Blox, a spatial logic game moving boxes;

traps; Morris, the ultimate computer board game; and Longlegs, tests your motor skills in this
animated jumping adventure. The games offer superb graphics with integrated sound and music.
Preliminary beta tests and focus group previews of Microlearns Game Pack have been
well received, commented Michael Kupka, president of MSR Development Corporation. We
believe that our first game will be popular for those who feel like kicking back and relaxing for a
few moments, perhaps while downloading a file from an on-line service, backing up their system
or taking a break to recharge their creative batteries.

network of distributors, dealers, retailers, software and computer specialty stores such as
MicroCentral, Indelible Blue, and Blue Orchard or direct from MSR at 409-564-1862 or
