Rule 12g3-2(b) File number 82-3467 Alberta Stock Exchange Symbol - VRX October 18, 1994 NEWS RELEASE The Company is pleased to announce the first sale of a 10 user system of The Parallel Universe. The purchaser, Virtual Games Inc.("VGI"), is currently developing a 3 dimensional, real-time, multi-player videogame intended for home and arcade use on the PC platform. The game, named STIMSLUM, has been professionally designed and will use the full features of The Parallel Universe. This design encourages team play and interaction with full voice communications amongst the players. VGI plans to install the system as an enhanced Location- Based Entertainment ("LBE") platform. The LBE will combine the specialized Parallel Universe network technology with Virtual Games videogame application. VGI has indicated that it intends to install the LBE in Calgary during the first half of 1995. The terms of the sale include the right-of-first-refusal for installations in Edmonton and Banff, Alberta as well as additional installations in Calgary. The system will be the first of its kind with the ability to offer simultaneous access from both the LBE and home-based computers using the STIMSLUM videogame. The Company believes this development will help showcase the patent-pending technology of The Parallel Universe and looks forward to establishing numerous installations during the 1995 year and beyond.
