                      EGAMES REFUTES ALLEGATIONS BY HASBRO
                            OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT


Langhorne,  PA - February  10, 2000 - eGames,  Inc.  (Nasdaq:  EGAM),  a leading
publisher and developer of Family Friendly(TM),  value-priced  computer software
games for players of all ages, today announced that Hasbro Interactive, Inc. has
filed suit against  eGames and several  other  defendants  in the U.S.  District
Court in Boston,  Massachusetts  alleging  that  eGames,  among  other  parties,
infringed Hasbro's copyrights and trademarks in the production of certain games.

eGames believes that the allegations are without merit and intends to defend the
action vigorously.

Jerry Klein, CEO of eGames,  commented,  "Although Hasbro  Interactive filed its
suit in federal  district  court in Boston on Monday,  February 7th, we were not
served with a copy of the complaint until  yesterday.  While we have not yet had
the  opportunity  to fully examine the  allegations,  it appears as if Hasbro is
unfortunately  trying to control the ideas behind  certain video games when such
ideas are free for  others to use and  improve  upon.  We have  brought  quality
products to market at popular mass consumer  price points and we will defend our
right to continue to offer consumers extraordinary value."

eGames, Inc., headquartered in Langhorne, PA, develops,  publishes and markets a
diversified  line  of  personal   computer   software   primarily  for  consumer
entertainment  and personal  productivity.  The Company promotes the eGames(TM),
Game Master  Series(TM),  Multi-Pack  and Galaxy of Home Office  Help(TM)  brand
names in order to generate  customer  loyalty,  encourage  repeat  purchases and
differentiate the eGames Software products to retailers and consumers.
