Harry White reviewed Dungeon! for Fantasy Gamer magazine and stated that "TSR's initial entry into computer gaming is a success. A gaggle of eight- to 13-year-old neighborhood playtesters says so. The 50-yearold father of part of that gaggle agrees that Dungeon! is worth the reasonable price tag. A ridiculously pretentious licensing agreement included and the [...] cost for a backup disk should not detract from the charm of the game for role-playing beginners and families."[2]
The Apple II version of Dungeon! was well received, gaining a Certificate of Merit in the category of "1984 Best Multi-Player Video Game/Computer Game" at the 5th annual Arkie Awards.[1]: 29
