Electronic Arts Invests in Bottle Rocket

Electronic Arts Invests in Bottle Rocket is today’s update from the October 1999 desk, and there is enough here to make retro PC players pay attention.

The useful part: Also announced was a three-year development agreement between the two companies. A series of online sports trivia game shows will be the first entertainment content to be developed under the agreement and will become a part of EASPORTS.com(TM). Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Bottle Rocket, founded in 1996 by Greg Easley and Kelly Moulton, is a 35-person studio that designs and develops multiplayer trivia, prediction, and simulation games in which fans compete on behalf of themselves and their favorite professional and college. File it under the usual 1999 PC pile: interesting, crowded, and probably fighting five other releases for attention.
