     FLIPSIDE, INC. ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF UPROAR TENDER OFFER

BERKELEY, CA - MARCH 21, 2001 - Flipside, Inc. today announced the expiration
of the subsequent offering period to the previously announced cash tender
offer by a wholly owned subsidiary of Flipside to purchase all of the
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Uproar Inc.
(Nasdaq: UPRO; EASDAQ: UPRO/UPROrs), at a price of $3.00 per share, net to
the seller in cash, without interest thereon.

     The subsequent offering period to the tender offer expired, as
scheduled, at 5:00 p.m. EST time on Wednesday, March 21, 2001.  Based on
information provided by the depositary for the tender offer, 42,637,377
shares of Uproar common stock were validly tendered, including guaranteed
deliveries, representing approximately 92% of the outstanding shares of
Uproar common stock.  Pursuant to the terms of the offer, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Flipside has accepted for payment, and will promptly pay for,
all shares validly tendered in the offer.

     Flipside will acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Uproar common
stock pursuant to a merger of its wholly owned subsidiary with and into
Uproar.  Flipside intends to send stockholders of Uproar who did not tender
their shares in the tender offer instructions as to how to exchange their
shares of Uproar stock for the $3.00 per share merger consideration.  No
further action is required by the remaining stockholders of Uproar to effect
the merger.  As a result of the merger, the remaining outstanding shares of
Uproar common stock (except for shares held by Flipside or any of its
subsidiaries, or by stockholders exercising dissenter's rights under Delaware
law, if available) will be converted into the right to receive $3.00 in cash,
without interest, and Uproar will thereby become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Flipside.
