1982: Trip Hawkins founds Electronic Arts by investing an estimated $200,000 of his own money into the business. Their mission statement: "make software that makes a personal computer worth owning." Originally just a PC game publisher, EA began producing their own titles in later in the decade. And the rest is history. As of last year, EA has reported nearly $3 billion in revenue and doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon...as long as sports and household chores stay in vogue.

So big hugs all around: what is your favorite EA title?
