Reception

The series has been widely positively acclaimed for its contributions to pop culture in Denmark, and for being the first Danish critic entertainment program.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006 Stegelmann received a new prize called the Nordic Game Prize. The prize would be named after him in subsequent years, because of his "contribution to the coverage of computer games on Danish national television and his understanding of the relevance of the phenomenon of games to the entertainment culture", referring to Troldspejlet, the film magazine Planet X, and his many books about films, video games, and comics.^{[needs update]}
