}}'''Activision''' is a subsidiary of [[Activision Blizzard]], which itself is a subsidiary of the [[Microsoft]] gaming division, [[Microsoft Gaming]].


==Computer Arts, Inc.==
It was created by [[Jaleco]] in [[1985]] with the release of the original ''[[City Connection (video game)|City Connection]]'' [[arcade]] game.
Computer Arts, Inc. was founded in [[1979]] by [[Jim Levy]] and former [[Atari, S.A.|Atari]] programmers [[David Crane]], [[Larry Kaplan]], [[Alan Miller]] and [[Bob Whitehead]].  


==Activision, Inc.==
It follows a driver named Clarice who completes tasks as she drives her small car.
Shortly after its foundation, in 1979, Computer Arts, Inc. was renamed '''Activision, Inc.'''


==Mediagenic==
The company [[City Connection (company)|City Connection]], which owns the rights to the series, was named after it.  
In [[1988]], it branched out to other forms of software than video games, and its corporate name was changed to '''Mediagenic'''.  


Under the Mediagenic holding company, the company continued to produce and publish games as Activision. Following a lawsuit that resulted in Mediagenic having to pay millions in damages, an investor group consisting of Robert Kotick and Brian Kelly purchased Mediagenic in [[1990]].

==Activision Blizzard==
The company was renamed back to Activision in [[1992]]. In [[2008]], Activision was merged with [[Vivendi Games]] to form the holding company Activision Blizzard.
 
In [[2013]], Activision Blizzard purchased most of [[Vivendi|Vivendi's]] shares of the Activision Blizzard stock to become an independent company. As in the Mediagenic years, it still produces and publishes games under the Activision name while under the Activision Blizzard holding company.
 
==Microsoft acquisition==
Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard in [[2023]].
