==Awards== ''Dungeon Master'' received dozens of prestigious awards including the first ever ''Special Award for Artistic Achievement'' from ''[[Computer Gaming World]]'' (CGW) when it was initially released. It was retired directly from the top spot in the CGW game ratings as one of the original members of the CGW Hall of Fame in November 1989 after having spent almost a year in the top spot with no serious challenger. There was some speculation by the game's developers that the CGW Hall of Fame was created for the purpose of removing ''Dungeon Master'' from the CGW ratings list since the game had achieved its sales records and domination of the rankings despite never buying any advertising for the game in the U.S. market. The following list of awards is comprehensive, but not complete. Notably, it does not include any of the many awards that followed the game's release in Japan in 1990. * ''Special Award for Artistic Achievement'' awarded in 1988 by ''[[Computer Gaming World]]'' * ''Adventure Game of the Year, 1988'' — [[UK Software Industry Awards]] * ''Best Selling Atari ST Title, 1988'' — UK Software Industry Awards * ''Best Role Playing Game, 1988'' — ''[[PowerPlay Magazine]]'' (German) * ''Best Role Playing Game, 1988'' — ''[[Tilt Magazine]]'' * ''Best Sound Effects, 1988'' — ''Tilt Magazine'' * ''Game of the Year, 1988'' — ''[[Computer Play Magazine]]'' * ''Best Atari ST Game, 1988'' — ''Computer Play Magazine'' * ''Game of the Year, 1988'' — ''[[4th Generation Magazine]]'' (French) * ''"Golden Sword" Award ,1988'' — The Adventurer's Club of the UK * ''Best Role Playing Game, 1988'' — The Adventurer's Club of the UK * ''"Beastie Award", 1988'' — ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon Magazine]]'' * ''Best Atari ST Title, 1988'' — ''Dragon Magazine'' * ''Best Game, 1989'' — ''[[Amiga World Magazine]]'' * ''Best Role Playing Game, 1989'' — ''Amiga World Magazine'' * ''Best Amiga Game, 1989'' — ''[[Game Player's Magazine]]'' * ''Best Amiga Game, 1989'' — ''[[Datormagazin]]'' (Swedish) * ''"Beastie Award" Best Apple //GS Title, 1989'' — ''Dragon Magazine'' * ''Best Game, 1989'' — ''[[Info Magazine]]'' * ''Best of the Amiga, 1989'' — ''[[Compute magazine]]'' * Inducted as an original member in the ''Computer Gaming World Hall of Fame'' in 1989 * Designated as one of the ''100 Best Games'' by ''PowerPlay Magazine'' (German, date uncertain)
