In 2001, 3D Architect Software Ltd, was established by Les, with the objective of becoming more responsible for further development of Arcon associated products, allowing Online Warehouse Ltd to concentrate on sales and marketing. Les recognised the potential in Arcon and established Online Warehouse Ltd in 2000 specifically to localise, develop and sell Arcon and Arcon related products.
This was developed in 1994 and based upon a German software product called Arcon. One of the most successful products that Data Becker published was a product call 3D Walkthrough / 3D Home Designer. Les Player then went on to establish Data Player Ltd in 1993 (trading as Data Becker UK), localising and launching 100+ software applications into the consumer market. GFA Basic was also introduced to the Amiga and Windows.
Les was the European Technical Director at Atari from 1982 to 1990 and was responsible for establishing the software community for the Atari ST and introducing the Atari ST into Europe.Ĭontinuing with the Atari theme, in 1990, Les became MD and part owner for the GFA company (in UK, Germany and USA), which was responsible for introducing GFA Basic and GFA CAD for the Atari ST. Les Player is a qualified engineer (sub surface weapons systems) and should be no stranger to those who familiar with the original Atari consoles/computers/software.
