PROXY STATEMENT

---------------

This statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Smart Games
Interactive, Inc. (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
(the "Annual Meeting") to be held at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 17, 1997, and at
any adjournments or postponements thereof, at the Holiday Inn, 240 Hines Hill
Road, Hudson, Ohio 44236. Holders of record of the Company's common stock,
$.0002 par value ("Common Stock"), at the close of business on April 30, 1997
(the "Record Date"), will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the
Record Date there were 12,648,244 shares of Common Stock outstanding and
eligible to vote. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one
vote on each matter scheduled to come before the Annual Meeting.

All votes represented by the enclosed proxy will be cast FOR the five
nominees for director named herein, unless authorization to do so is withheld by
a shareholder, and in the manner specified by that shareholder with respect to
the proposal to approve the Board of Directors' selection of independent
auditors of the Company, except that in the absence of such specification, the
votes will be cast FOR the adoption of such proposal. In the event that any
nominee refuses or is unable to serve as a director, which is not anticipated,
the persons named as proxies reserve full discretion to vote for any other
person who may be nominated.

At the meeting, votes will be tabulated by inspectors of election
appointed by the Chairman of the Board. The Company's by-laws provide that a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all shares of the
Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or
by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders.

The five persons receiving the largest number of votes for director
will be elected. An abstention from voting will be tabulated as a vote withheld
in the election of directors and will have no influence on the voting results.
The adoption of the proposal to approve the Board of Directors' selection of
independent auditors of the Company requires the affirmative vote of the holders
of record of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock represented and voting
in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. If a shareholder abstains from
voting on this second proposal, his or her shares are considered present at the
meeting, but since they are not affirmative votes, they will have the same
practical effect as a vote against the second proposal. Broker non-votes will
not be counted for quorum or any other purpose but will have the same practical
effect as a vote against the second proposal.

The Board does not know of any matters, other than those specified
herein, which will be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. In the event
that any other matters should properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is the
intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the proxy in
accordance with their best judgment on such matters. A proxy may be revoked by
delivery of a validly executed, later dated proxy, by notice in writing to the
Secretary of the Company at the above address, or in person at the Annual
Meeting, any time prior to its use.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Five directors are to be elected for the ensuing year to hold office
until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are

principal occupations during the past five years, and certain directorships held
by him.

JOHN D. LIPPS, 59, has served as Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company since its inception in October 1991. From

NICHOLAS J. CHUMA, 37, has served as a director and as Vice President,

1991. In April 1995 Mr. Chuma was elevated from Vice President to Executive Vice

Strategic Planning and Financial Analysis for AGA Gas, Inc., a regional
industrial gas company, from June 1990 to November 1991 where he assisted the
chief financial officer in strategic planning, budgeting and capital
expenditures allocation.

DONALD MILLER, 64, has served as a director of the Company since
December 1993. Mr. Miller retired in 1996 after five years as a director of

- ----------------
(1) Member of the Executive Committee.
(2) Member of the Audit Committee.
(3) Member of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN COMMITTEE MATTERS

The Board held seven meetings during fiscal 1996. Messrs. Lipps, Chuma,
Miller and Waite attended not less than 75% of the total number of meetings of
the Board during fiscal 1996, and all meetings of each committee of the Board on
which he served. Mr. Groberg attended all meetings of the Board held since his
appointment as a Director in November 1996.

During fiscal 1996, directors received no cash compensation from the
Company for service on the Board or any committee. All directors were reimbursed
by the Company for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with
their service on the Board and any committee thereof. In 1996 non-employee
directors (Messrs. Groberg, Miller and Waite) received options to acquire 25,000
shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $.09 per share as non-cash
compensation for their services as non-employee Directors. The exercise price of
such options was the equivalent of the fair market value of a share of the
Common Stock (i.e., the closing price of the Common Price on the OTC Bulletin
Board on the date of grant). In December 1996 the Board of Directors also
approved the grant of options to acquire shares of the Common Stock to
non-employee directors as follows: options to acquire (i) 5,000 shares for each
Board committee appointment, (ii) 1,000 shares for each Board meeting attended
in person and (iii) 500 shares for each Board meeting attended by conference
telephone. These option awards to non-employee directors will be granted
annually commencing January 1, 1997 with an exercise price equal to fair market
value on the date of grants.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, Messrs. Groberg, Miller and
Waite have each been granted options to acquire 75,000 shares of the Common
Stock at a per share exercise price of $.09 for services rendered as
non-employee directors in 1997.

The Board has (1) an Executive Committee, which has the authority to
exercise all the power of the Board when the latter is not in session; (2) an
Audit Committee, whose functions are to assist the Board with respect to
internal control, accounting and reporting practices of the Company and to
maintain communication with the independent auditors of the Company; and (3) a
Compensation and Stock Option Committee, whose functions are to review and
approve the compensation and benefits of the corporate officers, to review and
advise management regarding the benefits, including bonuses, and other terms and
conditions of employment of other employees of the Company, to administer the
1993 Non-Qualified and Incentive Stock Option Plan of Sports Sciences, Inc. (the
"Stock Option Plan") and to award employee stock options. During fiscal 1996,
the Compensation and Stock Option Committee met once. The other committees did
not hold any formal meetings, but members of each of those committees informally
conferred from time to time.

INFORMATION AS TO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Set forth below is certain information about the executive officers of
the Company who are not directors of the Company, based on information supplied
by them, including name, age and principal occupations during the past five
years. Executive officers of the Company are elected by the Board to serve until
the next annual meeting of the Board and until their successors are elected and
qualified.

STEPHEN J. SZCZECINSKI, 34, has served as Vice President-Engineering of
the Company since December 1991. In April 1995 Mr. Szczecinski was elected
Senior Vice President--Engineering of the Company. From January 1989 through
November 1991, Mr. Szczecinski was a design engineer for Neundorfer, Inc., a
company engaged in the manufacture of industrial controls and equipment. In that
capacity, he served as product development team leader for hardware, software
and firmware design projects. From June 1985 through December 1988, Mr.
Szczecinski was a design engineer for Allen-Bradley Company, Inc., where he
designed computer hardware and firmware components.

J. BARTON BALE, 45, has served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing
of the Company since January 1997. From 1994 to 1996 Mr. Bale served as Vice
President, Marketing and Sales of the Coffee Works, Inc., a specialty coffees
marketer. From 1993 to 1994 Mr. Bale was the Vice President of Marketing for
J.B. Williams Company, a health and beauty aid marketer. From 1991 to 1993 Mr.
Bale was the Vice President of Marketing for Evenflo Products Company, an infant
feeding equipment marketer.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP COMPLIANCE

Each of Messrs. Lipps, Chuma and Szczecinski inadvertently failed to
timely file a Form 4 for the period ending March 31, 1996. The option grants
that were to be reported for such period were included in Forms 4 filed for the
period ended November 30, 1996 (Mr. Lipps) and for the period ended December 31,
1996 (Messrs. Chuma and Szczecinski).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following tables set forth (i) the total compensation paid or
accrued by the Company for services rendered during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996 to Mr. Lipps, the Company's Chairman of the Board, President
and Chief Executive Officer; and (ii) the grant of stock options to Mr. Lipps
during such fiscal year. No other executive officer of the Company received an
annual salary and bonus during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 which
exceeded $100,000 in the aggregate.

(1) The 1993 Option Plan permits the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee to adjust the exercise price of previously granted options
(but not to a price less than the fair market value of the Common Stock
on the date of adjustment). In March 1996 the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee lowered the exercise price of all previously granted
options under the 1993 Option Plan to $.50 per share, which consisted
of 40,000 options granted to Mr. Lipps in 1995. The original exercise
price of Mr. Lipps' options was $2.25 per share. The basis for the
Committee's repricing of these options was that the decline in the
price of

the Common Stock (as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board) had lessened the
incentive value of the 40,000 options granted to Mr. Lipps in 1995 and
that repricing these options to the then-current price of the Common
Stock would restore such incentive value.

In the aggregate, Mr. Lipps has been granted stock options to acquire
350,000 shares of the Common Stock, all of which are currently exercisable, none
of which have been exercised, and 250,000 of which are in the money as of the
date of this Proxy Statement.

Employment Contracts

Mr. Lipps entered into an employment contract with the Company on
January 1, 1993 for a term of seven years. The term is automatically renewable
from year to year thereafter unless either party terminates the contract with
written notice ninety (90) days prior to the end of the seventh year or any
subsequent year. The agreement provides for a base monthly salary of $10,000
which can only be increased with Board approval. Mr. Lipps has agreed to a
covenant-not-to-compete for two years subsequent to his termination or
resignation from the Company, unless such termination is in breach of the
agreement.

In December 1996 the Board of Directors approved bonus payments to Mr.
Lipps. Mr. Lipps received a $20,000 bonus in December 1996. In addition, Mr.
Lipps will receive a $20,000 bonus in July 1997 but only if the Company is
profitable during the first six months of 1997 and a $20,000 bonus in January
1998 but only if the Company is profitable during fiscal year 1997.

In July 1995, the Company and Mr. Lipps executed an Agreement with
Respect to Patentable Inventions pursuant to which the Company agreed to make
severance payments to Mr. Lipps with respect to four patents owned by Mr. Lipps
and assigned to the Company. These severance payments become payable to Mr.
Lipps upon termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, and
are equal in amount to three percent (3%) of annual gross revenues received by
the Company from the sale of products which rely on any of the four patents
(maximum $360,000 per annum; minimum $90,000 per annum), and are payable only
for the life of each of the four patents. The Agreement also provides that
ownership of the four patents reverts to Mr. Lipps upon the occurrence of (i)
the Company's breach of the Agreement if the breach continues unremedied for
more than 60 days after the Company receives notice thereof from Mr. Lipps, (ii)
the Company's insolvency or assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) the
Company's dissolution or other termination of existence, or (iv) sale of the
Company's assets outside the Company's ordinary course of business such that the
Company ceases as a going concern.

Mr. Chuma has an employment contract with the Company commencing
January 1, 1993 for a term of two years and which is automatically renewable
from year to year thereafter unless either party terminates the contract with
written notice ninety (90) days prior to the end of the second year or any
subsequent year. In 1996 the employment contract was not terminated and, hence,
was automatically extended without modification for a one-year term ended
December 31, 1997. The contract provides for a base monthly salary of $6,250
which can only be increased with Board

approval. The agreement includes a covenant-not-to-compete for two years
subsequent to termination or resignation, unless such termination is due to
breach by the Company of the agreement.

1997 Bonus Program

The 1997 Bonus Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in December
1996. The 1997 Bonus Plan is intended to provide management and key employees
with additional incentives to promote the success of the Company. The Bonus Plan
provides that no bonuses may be paid until such time as the Company has achieved
earnings per share of at least $.05. After attaining earnings per share of $.05,
fifty percent (50%) of the Company's net profits (but no more than $350,000)
will be made available for payment to management and certain key employees in an
amount which cannot, in any one case, exceed 100% of the bonus recipient's
annual salary. Bonus awards will be made by the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee of the Board of Directors. No bonus payments were made under the 1997
Bonus Plan during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information as of April 23, 1997 as to

in "Executive Compensation," (ii) each person who, to the knowledge of the
Company at such date, was a beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

In November 1993, Mr. Lipps and Mr. Szczecinski, also an executive
officer of the Company, assigned to the Company all of their proprietary rights
in the pending patent application for Pro Swing enhancements. Mr. Lipps has
executed an agreement whereby he is obligated to assign to the Company any
rights he may receive during his employment for any new products or inventions
related to the Company's business. Mr. Szczecinski also executed a similar
agreement.

In July 1995, the Company and Mr. Lipps executed an Agreement with
Respect to Patentable Inventions pursuant to which the Company agreed to make
severance payments to Mr. Lipps with respect to four patents owned or filed by
Mr. Lipps and assigned to the Company. These severance payments become payable
to Mr. Lipps upon termination of his employment with the Company for any reason,
and are equal in amount to three percent (3%) of annual gross revenues received
by the Company from the sale of products which rely on any of the four patents
(maximum $360,000 per annum; minimum $90,000 per annum), and are payable only
for the life of each of the four patents. The Agreement also provides that
ownership of the four patents reverts to Mr. Lipps upon the occurrence of (i)
the Company's breach of the Agreement if the breach continues unremedied for
more than 60 days after the Company receives notice thereof from Mr. Lipps, (ii)
the Company's insolvency or assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) the
Company's dissolution or other termination of existence, or (iv) sale of the
Company's assets outside of the Company's ordinary course of business such that
the Company ceases as a going concern.

In June 1995, Peter Waite, a director of the Company, loaned $75,000 to
the Company in exchange for its execution and delivery of its $75,000 principal
amount promissory note (the "Note"). The Note carried interest at a rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum and was paid in full on December 8, 1995.

The Company believes that the terms of each of the foregoing
transactions were or are no less favorable to the Company than would have been
obtained from a nonaffiliated third party for similar transactions.

APPROVAL OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

On December 20, 1995 the Company was informed that Ernst & Young LLP
had resigned as auditors of the Company effective immediately. The reports of
Ernst & Young LLP on the Company's financial statement for the past two fiscal
years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting

principles, except that the report of Ernst & Young LLP on the Company's
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994 included an
explanatory paragraph relating to an uncertainty about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for
each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, and in the
subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on
any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope and procedures, which if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make
reference to the matter in their report.

The Company has received from Ernst & Young LLP a copy of a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated December 26, 1995 in
which it stated that it agreed with the above statements.

The firm of Saltz, Shamis & Goldfarb, Inc. firm of public accountants,
has audited the annual financial statements of the Company since 1995. The Board
considers them to be well qualified and will ask the shareholders at the Annual
Meeting to approve the designation of this firm as independent public
accountants for the Company for the year ending December 31, 1997.

Representatives of Saltz, Shamis & Goldfarb are expected to be present
at the Annual Meeting and they will have an opportunity to make a statement,
should they desire to do so, and to respond to appropriate questions.

VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION

The ratification of the Board's selection of Saltz, Shamis & Goldfarb,
Inc. as the Company's independent public accountants requires the affirmative
vote of the holders of record of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
represented and voting in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF
THE BOARD'S SELECTION OF SALTZ, SHAMIS & GOLDFARB, INC. AS THE COMPANY'S
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.

OTHER MATTERS

To the extent that information contained in this Proxy Statement is
peculiarly within the knowledge of persons other than the management of the
Company, it has relied upon such persons for the accuracy and completeness
thereof.

The cost of soliciting these proxies will be borne by the Company. In
addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by directors, officers
or employees of the Company, in person or by telephone or fax. The Company will
also reimburse brokerage firms and others for forwarding proxy material to
beneficiary owners of the Common Stock.

The Company presently intends to disseminate proxy materials in
connection with its annual meeting for fiscal 1997 on or about May 1, 1998.
Accordingly, any stockholder who wishes to submit a proposal for inclusion in
the proxy material to be disseminated by the Company in connection with its
annual meeting for fiscal 1997 must do so no later than January 1, 1998 and such
proposal must conform to the requirements set forth in Regulation 14A under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. It is suggested, but not required,
that proposals be submitted to the Company by Certified Mail - Return Receipt
Requested.

ANNUAL REPORT

The Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996 (the "Annual Report") will simultaneously herewith be
furnished to shareholders of record on the Record Date. The following
information is incorporated in this Proxy Statement by reference to the Annual
Report: (i) the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, and (ii) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation.
