Wheel of Fortune

1988
Quiz/Trivia
The 1988 Wheel of Fortune video game distills the core appeal of the TV show into a surprisingly effective package. Players spin the wheel, call out consonants, and buy vowels in a race to solve the puzzle, all while contending with the threat of "Bankrupt" spaces. Its enduring appeal lies in the satisfying moment of correctly guessing a phrase and the pressure of strategic letter-calling under time constraints.

About Wheel of Fortune

View Game Details
Wheel of Fortune was the first game based on the TV game show for the NES. It was developed by Rare and released on the same month as their NES Jeopardy! adaptation. Rare would follow it up with two more NES adaptations of the show: Wheel of Fortune: Junior Edition and Wheel of Fortune: Family Edition. It follows the rules of the show, where people spin a wheel and then try to solve a hangman puzzle, either guessing a consonant or spending their reward money to buy a vowel. Up to three human players can play via a pass-and-play system. Players must input their answers within a time limit using the in-game text parser.
