Founding of Accolade

Alan Miller and Bob Whitehead left Activision during a period of growing internal conflict. As Activision's leadership grew more corporate, Miller and Whitehead pushed to diversify into personal computer games. Their vision didn’t align with CEO Jim Levy, so the duo set out to form a company where creativity and market foresight would lead the way.

In 1984, they founded Accolade in San Jose, California, with a focus on creating premium computer games for platforms like the Commodore 64, Apple II, and IBM PC. Unlike Activision, which had been born in the console world, Accolade was grounded from the start in home computing— a rapidly growing and technically ambitious space.
