Wheel Of Fortune

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Wheel of Fortune series (2 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Gamtek
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Game show
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          You are presented with a word puzzle to solve.  Spin the
                  cash wheel, and earn money each time you correctly guess
                  one of the missing letters.  Fill in enough of the puzzle
                  to correctly guess its solution, and you get to keep your
                  winnings and play another round.  A digital rendition of
                  the popular long-running American TV game show featuring
                  Pat Sajak as the host and the lovely Vanna White as the
                  letter-turning girl.

IMPRESSIONS:      Poor adaptations of the TV game show.  Mediocre in almost
                  every measure, including the puzzles.  Get the home
                  computer versions instead - at least the graphics there
                  are visually appealing.

VARIATIONS:       Wheel of Fortune (1992, the original - bland, bland,
                    bland - did I say it was bland?)
                  Wheel of Fortune - Deluxe Edition (1993, the only notable
                    improvements are the improved graphics and the lovely
                    digitized picture of celebrity endorser Vanna White -
                    game engine remains unchanged, but not so the database)
