 Activision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Activision chose from then on to only concentrate itself in video gaming and nothing else.
In 1991 Activision packaged 20 of Infocom's past games into a CD-ROM collection called The Lost Treasures of Infocom sans most of the "feelies" Infocom was famous for.
The decision of the company to get involved in various fields at the expense of video gaming proved to be a move so bad that in 1992 Mediagenic filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

 Activision Anthology Review
The Activision logo is missing from most games (it ran across the top or bottom of the screen and was removed to keep a decent aspect ration) and there have been some relatively minor gameplay alterations, including a slightly lower framerate (which seems odd for games that are 20-some years old).
Activision Anthology features over 55 games and has a little something for everyone...
For those of you familiar with the Playstation 2 version of Activision Anthology, you're going to notice many similarities in how the game is presented.

 New Gaming Systems Bring Opportunity - Forbes.com
Activision has ignored this market, not wanting to compete with the dozens of other football or basketball games, and has instead concentrated on building franchises with legs (Doom, the top-selling game of all-time, and titles based on Marvel Comics' movies, for example).
Activision's Quake 4 is currently the best-selling Xbox 360 title, according to Amazon, but is not included in the bundle.
While consumers wait for new gaming consoles, prices for games on legacy consoles are expected to fall, something Activision CEO Bobby Kotick made clear last week when speaking at the Banc of America Securities Investment Conference.

 IGN: Activision Anthology Review
These extra bonuses are almost as much fun as the games themselves, and range anywhere from recreations of the old Activision send-away patches and commercials to all-new gameplay modes that affect how your screen reacts as you play it.
The primary gaming machine of my parents and grandparents (who are the ones who got me into this crazy hobby in the first place), the Atari 2600 in particular was the most dominating machine of that era.
So when you notice that your rack has a few empty slots, you know why -- downloaded games were supposed to go there.

 IGN: GC 2003: Activision Booth Report
You may wonder why Activision's presence at Games Convention 2003 was so small, especially since other major players like Electronic Arts and Ubi Soft had such large showings.
Developed by Luxoflux, of Vigilante 8 fame, the biggest asset this title brings -- next to its combination of fighting, shooting and driving -- is the dynamic storyline that players will be shaping as they progress through the game.
Well, we were too, but the only people we could find working the booth were hot German girls who didn't know much about the game, nor did they speak much English.
