photo 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.
