Activision, Inc. is an American computer and video game company. It was the first independent developer and distributor of computer and video games, founded on October 1, 1979. ^* Its first products were cartridges for the Atari 2600 video console system, and it is now one of the largest third party video game publishers in the world, second only to Electronic Arts.

History

---

Prior to the formation of Activision, video games were published exclusively by the makers of the systems the games were designed for. For example, Atari was the only publisher of games for the Atari 2600. This was particularly galling to the developers of the games, as they received no financial rewards for games that did well, and didn't even receive credit in the manuals. After watching a number of games turn into multi-million-dollar best sellers, a number of programmers decided they had had enough and left.

Activision was the first third-party game publisher for the 2600. The company was founded by former music industry executive Jim Levy and former Atari programmers David Crane, Larry Kaplan, Alan Miller and Bob Whitehead. Levy took the approach of promoting game creators along with the games themselves.
