TaskMaster - I don't think EA actually swallowed them up, from what I have gathered, they were bought by Sierra, later sold to CUC, and most of the current info points to Vivendi.

They were one of the headline acts in EA's big spread back at an early E3. I remember it well: they had released an attractive Windows screen replacement system, and were in the process of working on yet-another-RTS-clone-like-Warcraft. The former wasn't well publicized, and the latter looked and sounded dull. By the following year, EA had withdrawn support for the game, and absorbed Berkeley Systems' people into its general company, closing them down as a separate entity.
