Electronic Games Arcade Awards - 1993

The Electronic Games Arcade Awards, often called the Electronic Games Awards or simply the Arcade Awards, were annual accolades celebrating achievements in the electronic gaming industry during the 1980s and 1990s. These awards were organized by Electronic Games magazine, a leading publication of the era.

Winners were chosen through a voting process involving the magazine’s readers, making the awards a reflection of popular opinion within the gaming community. During their time, the Arcade Awards were highly regarded, honoring game developers and publishers for their significant contributions to the medium.

However, the Electronic Games Arcade Awards are no longer active. Both the awards ceremony and Electronic Games magazine ceased operations in the 1990s, marking the end of their influential run in the gaming world.
