In its first years in the US, Impressions would release between five and eight titles in a year, though by 1995 they had slowed down to a roughly two-titles-per-year schedule. The division first focused on repackaging current UK Impressions releases with minor localization, but within two years grew into a full-fledged development house. With a stable of partners and freelancers, including Edward Grabowski and Simon Bradbury, the company grew into a stable, successful studio.Īfter initial success in the European market, in 1992 Impressions opened a US division in Farmington, Connecticut, which eventually moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts. It also experimented with edutainment (Project USA) and casual software (Casino Deluxe). Its focus was on strategy and business games, including sports-team management simulations. Impressions Software was a UK software development house founded in 1989 by David Lester.
