This statement on Schedule 13G (this "Statement") is being filed by
Alan J. Andreini (the "Reporting Person") and relates to the common stock,
par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Showscan Entertainment,
Inc. (the "Issuer"). This Statement reflects ownership of Common Stock of
the Issuer by the Reporting Person for his own account and by persons for
whom the Reporting Person exercises trading authority. As of July 2, 1999,
the Reporting Person's account held 383,000 shares of Common Stock. The

over;(i) the account of The Andreini Foundation (the "Foundation"), which
as of July 2, 1999 held 41,000 shares of Common Stock; (ii) the account of
John D. Andreini (who is deceased) and Blanche M. Andreini (the "Parents")
at Cheevers Hand & Angeline, Inc., which as of July 2, 1999 held 36,500

benefit of Alan J. Andreini, Jr. (the "Son"), under Illinois Uniform
Transfers to Minors Act, which as of July 2, 1999 held 3,166 shares of

owner of the Common Stock owned by each such person because the Reporting
Person has shared investment and voting power in respect of the account of

Foundation and the Son. This Schedule 13G amends the statement on Schedule
