In 2005, Activision is one of the biggest game developers in the world, only behind electronic Arts.Before Activision's creation, videogames were developed exclusively by the console makers for which the games were made.

In 1982, Activision released Pitfall which is considered as the first platform game besides being the most sold on Atari 2600.

In 1985, the company joins Infocom, a pioneer in the adventure games and three years later, it started making other software and application.

Because of that, it changed its name to Mediagenic in order to have a name which would better suit its activities.
