David Lester, began a career in computer games in England in the early 80s,
writing game reviews for more than a dozen major magazines. In 1988,
David founded Impressions Software as a hobby, but the astonishing
success of its first project convinced him to give up his accounting job
and devote all his time to running the company. When the focus shifted
to strategy games, the response from excited U.S. publishers was so
overwhelming that Impressions Software, Inc. was born. The U.S. division
quickly grew to become larger than its British parent, thanks to hugely
popular games like Air Bucks, Caesar, and Lords of the Realm, and David
crossed the 'pond' to keep the yankees in line. Once he was confident
that the staff was not stealing cartons of liquid paper, David returned
to London to head up the European office, where he is currently
developing several new products. |
