  VANCOUVER, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ - Mainframe-Entertainment Inc. of
Vancouver was notified today that the company's cutting-edge computer animated
series, ReBoot(TM), produced in association with Alliance Communications
Corp., has been nominated for a Gemini Award in the "Best Animated Program or
Series" category.

  "This is the third year that ReBoot(TM)has been recognized as a
nominee for a Gemini Award," said Mainframe President and CEO Christopher
Brough.  "On behalf of everyone connected with ReBoot(TM), we are excited
about, and very much appreciate, receiving such recognition from our fellow
Canadians in the television industry."

   ReBoot(TM) won the Gemini for Best Animated Series in 1995 and 1996 and
garnered a Gemini for Outstanding Technological Achievement in 1996 for the
company's advances in computer animation.

   Mainframe Entertainment Inc. has produced two seasons of ReBoot(TM), the
world's first completely 3D computer animated half-hour TV series, and is
currently in production on season three. As well, the company is finishing
production of the first season of its new computer-animated show Beast
Wars(TM), known as Beasties(TM) in Canada. Both shows are consistently rated
in YTV's top 10 viewership in Canada and have earned consistently high Nielsen
ratings in the U.S. where they are syndicated in 112 television markets by
Claster Television.

   The latest additions to Mainframe's product line are two ride films based
on the ReBoot(TM) franchise for the IMAX(R) Ridefilm(TM) motion simulation
system. Produced in association with IMAX Corporation, the pioneer and leader
in giant screen and movie ride technology, the first of these rides is due for
release worldwide in the Spring of 1997 and the second shortly thereafter.

   Mainframe is also partnering with Electronic Arts, located in Burnaby,
B.C., to produce "Countdown to Chaos(TM)," an interactive video game based on
the ReBoot(TM) show. The game is scheduled for release on Sony PlayStation(TM)
format in the summer of 1997, with versions for the SEGA game system and CD
ROM releases following later this year.
