This is cool. I had no idea there was once a shareware industry awards. I guess it makes sense there would have been.
'apogee was inducted into the shareware hall of fame, by the shareware industry awards foundation, as part of an initial group of 52 inductees. apogee was awarded this honor for "valuable contribution to the shareware industry."' (1997) web.archive.org/web/19990125...

I've just seen that Ukiepedia is back live again - a massive wiki-style archive of all kinds of games industry facts, figures, resources and links, that I built during my time there.
It was basically my outsourced brain/memory, so go and have a rummage 😆

This is an outstanding choice and robustly addressed the question of "are games art" decades ahead of its time, in such a way I still think about it regularly.

What game made you fall in love with video games?
Many Commodore 64 games! But one example is Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It was mysterious. While I understood the other C64 games during my childhood, this particular game intrigued me.
Not understanding the texts increased my curiosity more.
