This game really brings me back. I used to play this back when I was a kid. The graphics are not really all that great. But the puzzles are relatively hard so it makes it fun to play. Although it does not have good ole Pat Sajak or Vanna White the wheel and board are very similar to what the Wheel of Fortune game show was like at the time the game was made. There is a woman who I am assuming is supposed to be Vanna.

You can have three people playing at once per game. It has the same adjective of as the show on television. You spin the wheel and it lands on a money
amount. It can also land on lose a turn or bankrupt. If you are lucky you will land on the free spin. If you have the free spin you can only use it on your turn but at any time in the game. The puzzles are put into categories like, person, thing, place, phrase and other ones just like on the television show. If you want a vowel you will have to pay out two hundred and fifty dollars.
Your turn keeps going until you guess the wrong letter, run out of time while you are guessing your letter or you spin and then land on a bankrupt or lose a turn. You keep playing like this till the end of the game. At the end, the player who has accumulated the most money gets to play in the bonus round. On the television show they usually only let you pick 3 consonants and a vowel but they give you r s t l n e. In the computer counterpart you must pick 5 consonants and one vowel. You are then given about thirty seconds to complete your puzzle. I would recommend this game for people who want just the basics of the game. If you are alright with none of the frills of the wheel of fortune games made after these, then this is the game for you.
It still is a blast. I still am baffled by some of the puzzles, I feel like this game can be even more challenging because some of the people that they reference in the people category, I do not know. Some of my friends and I played this game the other day and had a lot of fun with it. It is what you make it. If the pixilation of different old games drives you nuts do not download this one. It is an old game there is not a lot of clarity. But this game will keep you occupied and not take up a lot of room on you hard drive which is always nice.
