Get the Picture on Bezerk

Get the Picture on Bezerk is the story today, and it is the kind of late-April 1999 news blast that makes the pre-E3 season feel like someone kicked the hornet nest. You make the headlines in Get the Picture, the new original online game coming from Berkeley Systems this spring. A division of Sierra On-Line, Berkeley Systems today revealed its fifth original game for Bezerk will challenge gamers to create clever captions for an ever-changing array of hilarious pictures. In each round of Get the Picture an image ranging from a picture, photograph or cartoon will appear and gamers will get 45 seconds to come up with a clever caption. Also included are droodles which are simple, doodle-type drawings that double as riddles.

It may not be the same thrill as a fresh demo, but this stuff shapes what actually reaches players. Boring paperwork today can turn into games on shelves tomorrow.
