PROSPECTUS

                                1,994,033 SHARES
                                OF COMMON STOCK


                            MAI SYSTEMS CORPORATION

     This Prospectus relates to 1,994,033 shares of Common Stock of MAI Systems
Corporation (the "Company") (such 1,994,033 shares of Common Stock referred to
as the "Shares").  The Shares may be offered by certain stockholders of the
Company (the "Selling Stockholders") from time to time in transactions on the
American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX"), in the over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices
or at negotiated prices.  The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions
by selling the Shares to or through underwriters or broker-dealers, and such
underwriters or broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or the
purchasers of the Shares for whom such underwriters or broker-dealers may act
as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to
a particular underwriter or broker-dealer might be in excess of customary
commissions).  See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."

     None of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling
Stockholders will be received by the Company.  The Company has agreed to bear
certain expenses (other than selling commissions and fees and expenses of
counsel and other advisors to the Selling Stockholders) in connection with the
registration of the Shares.

   
     The Common Stock of the Company, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), is
listed on the AMEX under the symbol "NOW."  On December 5, 1995, the closing
price of the Common Stock on the AMEX was $6-1/4.
    
     Unless the context otherwise requires, all share information in this
Prospectus has been restated reflect a stock split effected by means of a 25%
stock dividend paid to stockholders of the Company on August 24, 1995.


                   THE SHARES INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
                    SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 3.

                                  THE COMPANY

GENERAL

   
     MAI Systems Corporation ("MAI" or the "Company") installs and supports
total information systems solutions, primarily in the casino and hospitality
industries.  In addition, the Company designs, sells, installs and supports a
wide variety of computer products including (i) local and wide area computer
networks, (ii) document imaging solutions, (iii) computer products for legacy
systems which upgrade, enhance and integrate legacy systems with currently
available computer technologies, and (iv) vertical and horizontal software
applications including OpenBASIC, MANBASE, ASG, Medical Management, BFMS and 
TriBASE.
    
     The Company's systems are comprised of (i) application software and
related services for targeted industry-specific markets, (ii) operating
systems, application development environments, programming languages,
networking products and horizontal software, and (iii) computer products and
peripherals.  The Company markets a line of systems incorporating RISC-based
processors as well as single and multiprocessor computers based on
industry-standard Intel Corporation-developed microprocessors.  The Company
also markets various peripherals.

     The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on
September 6, 1984.  The Company's name was changed from MAI Basic Four, Inc. to
MAI Systems Corporation on November 6, 1990.  As used herein, the "Company" and
"MAI" include MAI Systems Corporation and its subsidiaries (including its
70%-owned subsidiary, Gaming Systems International) unless the context
indicates otherwise.  The Company commenced operations on January 29, 1985.


                                  RISK FACTORS

     An investment in the Shares offered hereby involves a high degree of risk.
Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, in
addition to other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this
Prospectus.


COMPETITION

     Competition is vigorous in all sectors of the market for computer-based
solutions and support and maintenance services which the Company offers.  The
Company has numerous competitors in each of its business lines, which vary
widely in their size, capabilities, market segments and geographical areas.
Additionally, because the Company provides service and support to products
manufactured by third parties, such third parties are potential competitors
should they elect to provide support services similar to those provided by the
Company.


PRODUCTION AND PROCUREMENT

     Delay or failure in the delivery of products or components purchased from
third parties could adversely affect shipments by the Company and its ability
to conclude sales.  Because the Company's current products are industry
standard, management believes that alternative sources of supply of similar
products would be available to the Company in the event of any interruption of
delivery of a single source supplier.

LIQUIDITY; VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE

     Historically, trading volume of the Common Stock has been small, and the
market for the Company's Common Stock has been less liquid than that of most
other publicly traded companies.  In September 1995, however, the Company's
Common Stock became listed on the AMEX and under the symbol "NOW."
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that a stockholder who desires to sell
shares of Common Stock can sell all of the shares that the stockholder desires
to sell, either at all or at the desired times or prices.  In addition, future
sales of shares of Common Stock may reduce the price of the Common Stock to a
greater extent than shares of other companies with higher trading volumes.
Like the stock of other technology companies, the market price of the Common
Stock has been and may continue to be volatile.  Factors such as quarterly
fluctuations in the Company's results of operations, trading volume, the
announcement of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its
competitors, general conditions in the computer hardware and software
industries, economic conditions generally, the Company's ability successfully
to increase its market share with its existing products while expanding its
product base into other markets, the strength of the Company's distribution
channels, variances between actual results of operations and the results
expected by securities analysts, and the factors mentioned under "Fluctuations
in Operating Results" below, among other factors, may have a significant impact
on the market price of the Common Stock.


FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS

     A variety of factors may cause period-to-period fluctuations in the
Company's operating results.  Many of the Company's systems sales involve
lengthy sales cycles.  Consequently, it is not possible to predict with any
reliability the periods within which a sale may close.  As a result, the
operating results of the Company may be materially skewed if a single
transaction is completed earlier or later than expected.  The Company has
experienced fluctuations in its operating results.


EMERGENCE FROM CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS

     On November 18, 1993, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") entered an order confirming the First
Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, dated as of October 19, 1993
and technically amended on November 18, 1993 (the "Plan of Reorganization"), of
the Company, Brooke Acquisition Corp. ("BAC") and CLS Software, Inc. ("CSI")
(collectively, the "Debtors").  The Company had been operating under the
protection of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy
Code") since April 12, 1993.  On January 27, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court entered
an order which among other things fixed January 27, 1994 as the effective date
of the Plan of Reorganization (the "Effective Date").  The following summary of
some of the features of the Plan of Reorganization is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the Plan of Reorganization, which is an exhibit to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1993,
and by the more detailed description of the Plan of Reorganization that is
contained in the 1994 Form 10-K/A.

     The Plan of Reorganization provides for, among other things, (i) the
satisfaction of substantially all of the Debtors' unsecured (non-priority)
indebtedness through the issuance of Common Stock, and (ii) the cancellation of
existing equity interests in the Debtors.  The Plan of Reorganization also
provides for the substantive consolidation and merger of the Debtors and the
corresponding extinguishment of intercompany liabilities and intercompany
contracts among the Debtors.

     Under the Plan of Reorganization, as practical after the Effective Date
(i) holders of approximately $1,300,000 aggregate amount of administrative
claims and approximately $100,000 aggregate amount of





                                    - 4 -
<PAGE>   6
priority claims receive cash distributions and (ii) holders of approximately
$3,019,000 aggregate amount of tax claims receive deferred cash payments over
periods up to six years.  At October 31, 1995, the aggregate amount of tax
claims had been reduced to $1,027,000 and the Company continues to dispute
certain tax claims.

     The Plan of Reorganization provides that Bell Atlantic Business Services
Inc., in full satisfaction of its $819,203 secured claim, (i) retains its lien
on certain of the Company's property, (ii) receives $150,000 on the Effective
Date, (iii) will be repaid the balance of its claim in equal monthly
installments over three (3) years, and (iv) receives interest at the Mellon
Bank, N.A. prime rate plus two percent.  This obligation has been satisfied and
the lien has been released.

     The Plan of Reorganization further provides that, unless electing cash
treatment (described below), the holders of allowed unsecured claims are
allocated a proportionate amount of shares of Common Stock of the Company in
full satisfaction of their claims.  The Plan of Reorganization also
incorporates a settlement of subordination rights among the holders of senior
claims and the holders of subordinated claims.

     The Plan of Reorganization provides holders of unsecured claims the right
to elect a 10% cash recovery.  Under this provision, holders of allowed
unsecured claims that were less than, equal to or reduced by the holder to
$10,000 and who made such election, will receive 10% of their unsecured claim
in cash.  Holders of approximately $790,000 in unsecured claims made this
election.

      The Company commenced distribution of Common Stock to holders of
unsecured claims on April 14, 1994.  The Common Stock is being issued pursuant
to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, which contains an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act.  At October 31, 1995, the Company had
distributed 6,686,179 shares of Common Stock to its former creditors.

     Under the Plan of Reorganization there is no recovery for holders of the
Company's $.01 par value Common Stock (the "Old Common Stock"), and all classes
of Preferred Stock (the "Old Preferred Stock"), outstanding prior to the
Effective Date.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the Company filed an
Amended Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to which ten million shares of
Common Stock were authorized for issuance.  Shares are being issued to holders
of allowed unsecured claims as described above and will be issued to optionees
under the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan.  Due to the fact that the Company
is still resolving certain disputed trade claims, it is unable to calculate
with certainty the number of shares that will be reserved for the 1993 Stock
Option Plan.


                            THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

   
     The following table sets forth the name and the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by each of the Selling Stockholders as of December 6,
1995, the number of Shares to be offered by such Selling Stockholder and the
number of shares to be owned beneficially by such Selling Stockholder if all of
the Shares offered hereby by such Selling Stockholder are sold as described
herein.

Common Stock which they hold pursuant to the offering contemplated by this
Prospectus, and because the offering is not being underwritten on a firm
commitment basis, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will
be held by the Selling Stockholders after completion of the offering.

   
     Mr. LeBow was a director of the Company from September 1984 until October 
1995, and was Chairman of the Board of Directors from November 1990 until May
1995.  He was Chief Executive Officer from November 1990 to April 1993.
    

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Shares of Common Stock covered hereby may be offered and sold by the
Selling Stockholders from time to time in transactions on the AMEX, in the
over-the-counter market, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices
or at negotiated prices.  The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions
by selling the Shares to or through underwriters or broker-dealers, and such
underwriters or broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or the
purchasers of the Shares for whom such underwriters or broker-dealers may act
as agent or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to
a particular underwriter or broker-dealer might be in excess of customary
commissions).  Without limiting the foregoing, such brokers may act as dealers
by purchasing any or all of the Shares covered by this Prospectus, either as
agents for others or as principals for their own accounts, and reselling such
Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.  Sales of Shares are, in general, expected
to be made at the market price prevailing at the time of each such sale;
however, prices in negotiated transactions may differ considerably.  The
Selling Stockholders are acting independently of the Company in making
decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

     The Shares being offered by the Selling Stockholders were acquired as a
result of a dividend from a holding company in which the Selling Stockholders
were controlling stockholders; the holding company acquired the Shares in
satisfaction of its claim against the Company in the Company's bankruptcy
proceeding.  See "Risk Factors--Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Proceedings."

     At the time a particular offer of shares is made, to the extent required,
a supplemental Prospectus will be distributed which will set forth the number
of shares being offered and the terms of the offering including the name or
names of any underwriters, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for the
shares purchased from the Selling Stockholders, any discounts, commissions and
other items constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any
discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

     In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if
required, the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered
or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in certain states the Shares may
not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the
applicable state or any exemption from the registration or qualification
requirement is available and is complied with.

     Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the distribution of the Shares may not simultaneously engage in
market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for a period of nine
business days prior to the commencement of such distribution.  In addition and
without limiting the foregoing, each Selling Stockholder will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including, without limitation, Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7, which
provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the Common
Stock by the Selling Stockholders.

   
     The Company has agreed to indemnify each of the Selling Stockholders
against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the Shares,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants to the Company
the power to indemnify the officers and directors of the Company, under certain
circumstances and subject to certain conditions and limitations as stated
therein, against all expenses and liabilities incurred by or imposed upon them
as a result of suits brought against them as such officers and directors if
they act in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believe to be in or nor
opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, have no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful.  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for
indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (a)      (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement

              (i)         To include any prospectus required by section
         10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

              (ii)        To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
         arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the
         most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,





                                     II-1
<PAGE>   10
         individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
         the information set forth in the Registration Statement;

              (iii)       To include any material information with respect to
         the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
         Statement or any material change to such information in the
         Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
         and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form
         S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective
         amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
         by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
         the Registration Statement.

         (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof; and

         (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act 
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the 
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above, or 
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.  In
the event that a claim of indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in a successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-3


Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be filed by MAI
Systems Corporation (the "Company" or "MAI") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or about November 29, 1995 (as such may thereafter be amended or
supplemented, the "Registration Statement") in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 1,994,033 shares of MAI's
Common Stock ($.01 par value (the "Stock").  All of the Stock is currently
issued and outstanding.

As general counsel to the Company, I have examined the proceedings relating to
the issuance of the shares of Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement.  In
my opinion all of the shares of the Stock that will be sold are legally and
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

I consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to the use of my name, wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement, including the Prospectus constituting a part thereof,
and any amendments thereto.


Very truly yours,


  /s/ Stanley P. Witkow
