FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MIACOMET AND INTERACT ANNOUNCE AGREEMENT TO LAUNCH LINE OF REAL FEEL^TM SPORTS CONTROLLERS

Fishing Rod & Reel and Pool Cue controllers scheduled for release in 1999

Los Angeles, May 13, 1999 - Miacomet^®, Inc. and InterAct^® Accessories, Inc., a Recoton^® Company (NASDAQ: RCOT), today announced plans to introduce a new line of sports simulation peripherals for PCs and game consoles that will revolutionize the realism and enjoyment of how sports games are played. Both companies will be demonstrating these new products during E3 at InterAct Booth #1400 (South Hall) and Miacomet booth #6541 (Kentia Hall).

The first two products, scheduled to be released later this year, will be a fishing rod & reel controller and pool cue controller based on Miacomet’ Real Feel^TM technology. "These peripherals look and feel like real sports equipment and are used to control existing and planned sports software instead of a keyboard or mouse to create an enhanced level of play," said Todd Hays, President of InterAct Accessories. "These products will provide the vehicle for the next generation of sports gaming for PC and game console players."

The rod and reel fishing controller is approximately 30" long and takes the place of a mouse and keyboard or game pad to control all fishing action including distance and accuracy of cast, the feel of a nibble or strike and the weight, run and fight of the fish.

The Real Feel Pool Cue controller is a revolutionary device that permits the user to play simulated pool using a real pool cue while maintaining the natural hand position and motion of real pool play.

"Miacomet’s Real Feel technology uses patented force feedback and spatial movement sensors to effect real time measurement of motion, direction and force. This highly accurate and low-cost technology, along with innovative product design, combine to provide the best and most realistic sports simulation experience available in the market today," said Randy Hujar, President of Miacomet, Inc. "We are excited to be partnering with InterAct, the leading manufacturer of PC and game console peripherals and accessories in the industry, to bring to market products that will set a new standard in playability and value for consumers".
