 PROFILE
Video game maker Activision is a firm believer that action speaks louder than words. The #2 video game publisher in the US (behind Electronic Arts) is best known for action titles like "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" and "Supercar Street Challenge." It also makes games based on licensed properties from companies like Disney ("Buzz Lightyear of Star Command") and Marvel ("Spider-Man"). Titles produced for console game systems (Sony's PlayStation, Nintendo's N64) account for almost 50% of sales. The company also distributes titles for third parties. Activision was one of the first publishers for home game systems, creating titles like "Pitfall" for Atari's 2600 system in the late 1970s.
