I don't believe that Activision markets games for any machine any more.  A
while ago (this past summer?) they announced that they were going to put
all their emphasis on what they originally did: made games for home gaming
systems like the nintendo.

Someone said that mediaGenic was going to sell off their TenPoint-Oh division,
along with their Activision division, but I'm not sure what happened to them...
