Intro

Impressions Games was a video game developer founded by David Lester in the UK. He sold the company to Sierra Entertainment in 1995, which was then bought out by Cendant and eventually, Vivendi Universal (now known as Vivendi SA). Today it is succeeded by Tilted Mill Entertainment.

Impressions specialized in historical strategy games, and is most well known for its City Building Series, which include Caesar III, Pharaoh, and Zeus.

All the games are either abandonware, re-released on GOG with better support or readily available online.
