Saddle stapled wraps, 8vo (8-3/4 inches tall), pp. [4 - inc. frontis], i-xviii, 1-26, illustrated with line drawings. Volume with rubbing to front cover, light soil to lower cover and the occasional spot of soil to text. "Dungeon Master is a fantasy role-playing game, the first to feature real-time gameplay. The game included a number of user interface features that made gameplay particularly enjoyable, from a spell system that seemed to be "logical" to the intuitive way the player used the mouse to directly manipulate items in the simulated 3D view. It was released on the [Atari] ST in 1987 and went on to become the ST's best selling product of all time. It was eventually ported to over a dozen platforms in six languages. . [awards received included] the first ever Special Award for Artistic Achievement from Computer Gaming World when it was initially released." wiki, accessed 03/18 ; p. 480 Games vs Hardware. The History of PC Video Games : The 80's, by Bogdan Ion Purcaru, and The Evolution of Fantasy Role-Playing Games by Michael J. Tresca p. 141.…
